Breastfeeding Support in NICU Settings

Providing breastfeeding support in the NICU is essential for promoting optimal nutrition, immunity, and bonding, especially for preterm and low-birth-weight infants. This session highlights the strategies and tools healthcare providers can use to assist mothers in initiating and maintaining lactation under stressful and medically complex conditions. The use of hospital-grade breast pumps, skin-to-skin contact, and timely initiation of milk expression are discussed alongside lactation consultant interventions. Emphasis is placed on transitioning from tube feeding to direct breastfeeding, understanding infant feeding cues, and overcoming common barriers such as maternal stress, medication concerns, and limited milk supply. Policies that encourage rooming-in, parental presence, and culturally sensitive breastfeeding education will also be examined. Evidence shows that NICU-based lactation programs lead to improved neonatal outcomes, shorter hospital stays, and higher exclusive breastfeeding rates at discharge. Empowering families with consistent guidance and emotional support throughout the NICU stay ensures that breastfeeding becomes a sustainable and rewarding experience post-discharge.
