“…The majority (85%) of women in the United States who breastfeed their infants also provide milk through the feeding of expressed human milk (Flaherman & Lee, 2013). Women express milk for a variety of reasons including maternal infant separation due to illness, return to work, convenience, or a desire to provide human milk to their infant but not through direct breastfeeding (Flaherman & Lee, 2013).…”

“…For a mother who has to go back to work or school, a high quality double electric breast pump will be effective, although not as efficient as a hospital grade pumps. Battery operated or hand pumps should only be recommended for episodic or infrequent use (Flaherman & Lee, 2013).…”

“…Since they can not directly breastfeed during the serious illness period, this situation may negatively influence the initiation and maintenance of lactation (4). Early initiated and frequently applied emptying of the breasts by breast pumps along with the emotional support given to mothers may help to maintain and promote breastfeeding (5,6). Frequent breast expression improves milk production and breastfeeding success in mothers of premature infants (7).…”

ABS TRACT ÖzAim: Expressed breast milk is beneficial for infants in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) when direct breastfeeding is not possible. Breast expression with manual or electric breast pumps is promoted for the initiation and maintenance of lactation in this critical period. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and maternal comfort of sequential versus simultaneous breast expression in newly delivered mothers whose infants were admitted to NICU. Materials and Methods: Thirty five mothers were followed prospectively for milk expression either sequentially (n=21, group 1) or simultaneously (n=14, group 2) with breast pumps for 10 days. The total amount of milk expressed per day and per each period was recorded together with the duration of breast expression. The mothers' impressions about the easiness and comfort of the procedure, and their satisfaction with the amount of milk were evaluated with a questionnaire at the end of the study. Results:The amounts of expressed milk per day and per each expression period were similar in both groups. However, time spent for each expression period was significantly lower in the simultaneous breast expression group. Mothers in this group gave higher scores with regard to ease of use when compared to mothers in the sequential expression group (4.36±0.50 vs. 4.00±0.44, p=0.046). The mothers graded both methods with similar scores in all other parameters. Conclusion: Simultaneous breast expression is time saving while both simultaneous and sequential breast expression are similarly efficient for milk production, and both methods are helpful and tolerable in promoting breastfeeding for NICU mothers.

“…The amount of formula provided appears close to the total volume of colostrum in early lactogenesis II, which limits the value and impact of the formula intervention. 9 The control group outcomes actually provide the most meaningful implications for practice and the richest food for thought. Mothers in the control group knew from the informed consent document that their infants might be randomized to receive early formula.…”

Early Limited Formula Is Not Ready for Prime Time

All research should challenge existing paradigms and beliefs, and the article by Flaherman and colleagues on early limited formula as a strategy to promote exclusive breastfeeding does just that.1 The authors are respected contributors to the literature on breastfeeding. However, there are critical limitations to study design that bring their conclusion into question and restrict the generalizability of their results. All elements of the protocol, from inclusion and exclusion criteria to intervention content and timing, should receive careful evaluation before we accept the authors' conclusions.
