Madigan Squeeze Technique In The Wild

A squeeze, nudge, or smack may be needed to signal the transition from sleeping in the womb to waking up. This is called the “Madigan Squeeze Technique.”

A squeeze creates pressure over the body which mimics the normal birth canal pressure. 

For example, this newly born seal pup appears dead until the mother nudges it to life.
