The EHM NCCC Odyssey

April 10, 2013



Use of Maternal Milk in the

NCCC

• “Of the various therapies used routinely in

the NICU, HM ranks among those with the

most empiric support for safety, efficacy,

availability and cost-effectiveness.”

• Maternal milk is medicine.

Breastfeeding Updates for the Pediatrician Supporting Breastfeeding in the Neonatal Intensive

Care Unit. Paula P. Meier, Aloka L. Patel, Harold R. Bigger, Beverly Rossman, and Janet L.

Engstrom. Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2013-02-01, Volume 60, Issue 1, Pages 209-226



The Case for EHM

• Higher doses of Maternal Milk reduces:

– enteral feeding intolerance

– late-onset sepsis

– necrotizing enterocolitis

– chronic lung disease

– retinopathy of prematurity

– neurocognitive delay

– rehospitalization at 18 and 30 months of age.



EHM NCCC

• Action Plan

– Early Pumping

– Skin to Skin

– Documenting milk production (500 cc/day at 2

weeks)

– Mom’s time to obtaining pump

– Frequency of mothers use of a breast pump



EHM NCCC Data

• Admission

• Discharge

• Daily DOL 1-14• Day 21 and 28



EHM NCCC

Goal:

Increase use of exclusive

maternal milk by 50% at 28

days



EHM NCCC: Early Pumping

Challenges

• Benefits potentially of expressing/pumping

by 1 hour

– Sustain supportive milk production

• Coordination with Labor and Delivery

– Maternal order sets include pumping

• Education of staff and families

EHM NCCC:Skin to Skin

Challenges

• Definition of stability – Only 40% of NICUs have formal guidelines for defining

stability

• Technology – Variable with vent, CPAP, central lines

• Institutional Factors – Orders required

– Education

• Familial Factors – Education

– Mother’s health

EHM NCCC: Skin to Skin

• Benefits of Skin-to-Skin Contact or

“Kangaroo Care”

– Increases maternal milk supply and guards

against insufficient lactation. 1,2

– Improves oxygen saturation 3

– Improves stress responses 4

– Reduces hypothermia, bradycardia, andstabilizes respiratory rates. 5

Milk Volume Targets

• Milk output during the first 2 postnatal

weeks predicts the adequacy of milk

volume during the late NICU

hospitalization.



Milk Volume Targets

• Support infant in the NICU at the time,

– Small amounts due to prematurity, surgical

complications, or fluid restrictions

• Protect and support the milk supply by

early programming that enables their

infants to receive exclusive HM feedings

after the NICU hospitalization. – Minimal milk volumes of 350 mL per day

– Volumes closer to 1000 mL per day ensure

enough milk later
