“Diabetes and antenatal milk expressing: a pilot project to inform the
development of a RCT”
------------------------------------------


Sample: 43 pregnant women requiring insulin

•
•Cardiotocographs were undertaken after the first expressing episode and *
none* of the infants showed any sign of fetal compromise.

•
•Forty per cent of infants received formula in the 24 hours postpartum.

•
•No women showed evidence of hypoglycaemia post expressing. The intervention
was positively received by most women; 95% said that they would express
antenatally again if the practice proved to be beneficial.

•
•
•The amount of colostrum varied according to the number of
expressions, the length
of time in the study and the time spent expressing, with a median of 14 days
expressing and 39.6 ml of colostrum obtained.”
