Abstract

Many studies have investigated the physical characteristics of sucking by breast- and bottle-fed infants (Woolridge 1986; Weber et al. 1986; Mathew & Bhatia 1989; Bamford et al. 1992). However, none have applied the same approach to human milk expression using an electric breast pump. In this regard there is a paucity of information regarding factors that can affect breast pump function. We have developed a method suitable for the objective determination of breast pump efficacy (Mitoulas et al. 2002a) and have used this method to compare a standard pumping pattern to an experimental pumping pattern in an effort to identify factors that may be responsible for breast pump efficacy.
