Globally, preterm births have significantly increased. Everybody knows about the importance of breast milk for newborns and especially for preemies. However, prematurity is cited as one of the most common causes for lactation failure in mother-baby dyads. This presentation will cover common tips and tricks which can be utilized to help mothers build their milk production slowly and steadily, to provide Mother's Own Milk (MOM) throughout length of hospital stay (LOS), and until they transition successfully to breast/chestfeeding their babies.
