Medela: Comprehensive solutions for human milk and breastfeeding

چکیده
Breastfeeding is the ultimate goal for the preterm infant and mother pair. Preterm delivery, however, creates a unique set of challenges, making it difficult to breastfeed initially. The preterm infants’ progression to breastfeeding is often complicated by neurological and gastro-immaturity and underlying medical co-morbidities. Mothers can also experience multi-faceted issues initiating, building and maintaining lactation during this earlier stage of breast development. Evidencebased practices that support the development of breastfeeding in the NICU, and likewise practices that enable mothers to provide an adequate volume of milk for their preterm infant, are discussed in this review. Future research investigating feeding at the breast in the NICU remains imperative to help mothers and infants overcome these early feeding challenges.
