Relactation in a Newborn Intensive Care Setting

Nancy M. Thompson, BSN, IBCLC

Medical College of Virginia Hospitals (Richmond, Virginia USA); Central Virginia Lactation Network, an ILCA affiliate; 8105 Kempwood Drive, Chesterfield, VA 23832 USA.

A woman who did not initiate breastfeeding after the birth of her preterm infant did so 27 days later, after her infant developed necrotizing enterocolitis. Using specific strategies including kangaroo care principles and simultaneous breast pumping to faciliate relactation, the mother was able to provide an adequate supply of breastmilk at the time of her infant's hospital discharge.

Key Words: breast pumping • necrotizing enterocolitis • premature infant • relactation
