The study hypothesizes that human who are both breastfeeding and pumping in the first days postpartum have more expression volume with an additional 5 minutes of pumping with Maintain program after pumping with the INITIATE program.
This study aims to assess if expression milk volume could be improved for patients pumping milk for a clinical indication by implementing five minutes more pumping with the MAINTAIN program, a different sucking pattern, to initiate and benefit milk production. The results of this study will provide important information that validates the proposed changes as well as build clear recommendation for using the Symphony program cards in this population.
