Hi Lactnetters,
Does anyone have references for indicating that a mom who is unable to
breastfeed after the birth of her baby,  should pump within 6 hours?
Hill, et al. 1995, recommends using the 6 hour cutoff, but they do not
cite a reference for this.  Others cite Hill et al. for this
recommendation.  I am aware of the research that provides evidence of
the connection between early and frequent feedings and adequate milk
supply, but nothing that distinguishes this 6 hour marker and pumping.
TIA for your help.
Sincerely,
Mary M. Lussier BSN IBCLC
