Summary

This study looked at whether a discreet, hands-free wearable breast pump could help Black mothers of critically ill infants in the NICU pump more often and produce more milk. Forty Black mothers were randomly assigned to use either the wearable pump with a tracking app or a standard pump. The goal was to see if the wearable pump was practical and could improve lactation success, potentially reducing racial disparities in breast milk feeding.
