Effectively activating milk production in the early days and benefits of double expression
Tuesday, 30 May 2023
The evidence of pumping and hand expression in the early days post-partum
Initiating and building milk production is a profound process in which secretory activation plays an important role. We provide insight into what this is, how to support successful milk production during this critical period, and how to ensure effective milk production and breastfeeding for the long term .
Learning objectives
- Lactation physiology in the transition from pregnancy to the early postpartum period and how it may be influenced by initiation behaviours
- Understanding the importance of a vacuum-induced prolactin response
- Learn about collecting colostrum
- Compare the effectiveness and efficiency of MOM removal via electric breast pump versus hand-expression only techniques during this critical window
- Have knowledge of evidenced-based best practices to ensure effective milk supply and breastfeeding
- Benefits of Double Expression
