Study Summary

This trial compares the effectiveness of different breast pump patterns to help mothers of critically ill infants produce milk.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for mothers over 18 who plan to use a breast pump exclusively for the first two weeks after giving birth, with infants in the NICU and intending to provide only their milk. It's not for those who've had breast surgery, take certain medications, live far from UFHealth, or have an infant unlikely to survive.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is examining how different suction patterns of breast pumps affect lactation outcomes in mothers whose newborns are critically ill and depend on pumped milk.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-medical devices (breast pumps), side effects may include discomfort or soreness from the suction process but will vary based on individual sensitivity.
