Summary

This study looks at whether pumping breast milk every 2 hours instead of every 3 hours helps mothers of preterm babies produce more milk. About 70 mothers will be assigned to one of two pumping schedules and record their daily milk volume for the first 28 days after birth. The goal is to find the best pumping frequency to support milk supply.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
breast pumping (every 2 or 3 hours)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help mothers of preterm babies produce more breast milk, reducing the need for donor milk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (70 participants) that only measures milk volume, not long-term health outcomes. Results may not apply to all mothers.
