Summary

This study tested three different breast pump suction patterns in 96 mothers of critically ill infants who were pumping less than 350 mL per day. The goal was to see which pattern helped increase daily milk volume and maintain milk production. Mothers also rated comfort and convenience. Results could guide better pumping recommendations for NICU families.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify the most effective pump setting to increase milk production for mothers with critically ill infants.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 96 participants. Results may not apply to all mothers, and individual responses to pump patterns can vary.
