Abstract:

Breast milk expression can provide milk removal in place of or in conjunction with an infant that is not exclusively breastfeeding. Although milk expression strategies are well established for premature infants, no guidelines for milk expression are available for mothers of full-term infants who are not exclusively breastfeeding.

Breast pump technology continues to develop, yet there is little education available for clinicians and mothers regarding how to best use this technology. This presentation looks at a research study that was undertaken to examine what information, guidelines, and strategies are available. Learn more about the results of this study, the recurring concepts identified, and how you can better support mothers of full-term infants who are expressing their milk.
