Less pumping, more milk? new study tests a simpler approach for breastfeeding moms
NCT ID NCT07260968
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether pumping fewer times a day (3-4 times) or following no extra pumping advice can help mothers with low milk supply produce more milk and breastfeed longer. Researchers will measure milk production and study the body's milk-making processes. The goal is to find easier, more effective ways to support breastfeeding.

- pumping frequency intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer simpler, more effective pumping guidelines to help mothers with low milk supply produce more milk and breastfeed longer.

- This is an early-stage study with 225 participants, so results may not apply to all mothers. Pumping less often might not increase milk for everyone, and individual factors like stress or health could affect outcomes.
