  2. NICU Control Submit Proposal to IRB Recruitment Started Feb 2012 n=27 30 Mothers of infants EGA of 31-36 who initiated breastfeeding but have not been discharged End By 4/30/2012 Data Collection: Mothers followed via phone calls for 3 months from infant's birth for these outcomes: 1. Breastfeeding Duration to Weaning or 6 Months 2. Breastfeeding Exclusivity to Weaning or 6 months 3. Survey of Breastfeeding Problems and Outcomes Data Collection Ended 11/2012

  3. NICU Experimental Recruited as of June 10th, 2012 N=21 Order Supplies and Set up Clinic Began July 2012 Recruit 30 Mothers of infants EGA 31-36 who are less than 8 days old End by 7/31/2013 Contact Mothers weekly until Discharge At Discharge, given an outpatient follow up appointment within 7 days Follow dyads bi-weekly or weekly to manage breastfeeding, milk supply, infant growth and other problems. Most Problems are resolved by the third month Data Collection: Mothers followed via phone calls for 6 months from infant's birth for these outcomes: 1. Breastfeeding Duration to Weaning or 6 Months 2. Breastfeeding Exclusivity to Weaning or 6 months 3. Survey of Breastfeeding Problems and Outcomes End By 12/2013

  19. Breastfeeding Durations and Exclusivity will not improve unless 1 or more of the following occur: Before Discharge: • Hospitalized Dyads have access to prompt and convenient care by a PCP who specializes in breastfeeding • NICU’s provide transportation for maternal visitation • NICU’s provide each mother with a hospital grade pump that the mother can use at home and at the bedside until discharge After Discharge: • Transportation is provided to Appointments and/or Home Visits are an option • Lactation Consultants are readily available at all Well Baby appointments and/or • Health Care Providers learn to manage breastfeeding or dyads are managed by a Breastfeeding Medicine Specialist

  20. Future Research Suggestions 1. Reward mothers who are still pumping at D/C with their own double-electric pump 2. Adapt the “Baby-Friendly” criteria for the NICU 3. Explore: A) The use of a “Breast-first and Bottle-Free or Last” NICU Protocol B) Ad lib breastfeeding once 50% of a feeding can be ingested C) The effects of maternal rooming-in 48 hours prior to D/C 4. Provide cell phones for better communication and lower loss-to-follow-up 5. Offer Incentives to improve compliance with visits
