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 ...

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 ...

BACKGROUND:Breastfeeding is important for health. However, not all infants can feed at the breast and effective methods of expressing milk have not been adequately evaluated. OBJECTIVES:To assess ...

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 ...

Introduction Breastfeeding is the biological norm for infant nutrition. In certain scenarios, feeding at the breast is not possible, because of either maternal or neonatal reasons. In those cases, ...
