Are There Any Special Considerations for Premature Infants?
Premature infants often face challenges with breastfeeding due to their underdeveloped suckling reflex and the need for extended hospital stays. In such cases, mothers may need to rely on pumping to maintain and increase their milk supply. The use of hospital-grade pumps and establishing a pumping schedule can be beneficial. Additionally, healthcare providers can offer strategies to transition the baby to the breast as they grow stronger.
