Combining hand techniques with electric pumping increases milk production in mothers of preterm infants

Pump-dependent mothers of preterm infants commonly experience insufficient production. We observed additional milk could be expressed following pumping using hand techniques. We explored the effect on ...

Manual breast milk expression better than breast pump for poor feeders

Expressing breast milk by hand in the first days after birth is better for boosting breastfeeding rates among poorly feeding newborns than the use of a breast pump, indicates a small study published ...

Prevalence and Outcomes of Breast Milk Expressing in Women With Healthy Term Infants

Expressing may contribute to a parental focus on the measurement of breast milk. Such quantification of breast milk may undermine confidence about the adequacy of milk supply, and may be reflected in ...

Combining hand techniques with electric pumping increases the caloric content of milk in mothers of preterm infants

We previously reported that preterm mothers’ milk production can exceed levels of term mothers by using early hand expression and hands-on pumping (HOP) with the highest production (955 ml per day) in ...
