Hello, Maybe you could find something in: Auerbach, K "Sequential and simultaneous breast pumping: a comparison", Int. J Nurs Stud 1990, 27(3):257-265 Breast wishes, Friendly, Françoise Coudray Présidente de l'ADJ+ President of association ADJ+ (Allaitement Des Jumeaux et Plus - Breastfeeding Twins and More) http://www.allaitement-jumeaux.com/ http://www.allaitement-jumeaux.com/expo2001/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pamela Morrison" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 2:23 AM Subject: Prolactin levels during double pumping > Gonneke > > You asked for references to confirm that double pumping will boost > prolactin levels and reduce time needed for pumping. Going through my > very old card index filing system I find a note I made to myself in 1990 > (!!) "Pumping the breasts simultaneously decreases the time spent pumping > and stimulates prolactin more than pumping in tandem and hence may > encourage a better milk supply." The reference is: Sucking Disorders in > Neurologically Impaired Infants, p 121. My books are all still packed, so > I can't remember in which book, or in which section of which book I > obtained this information. The name Susan Meintz Maher is ringing bells, > but I can't be sure. Maybe someone else can complete the ref?? > > Best wishes to all for the New Year > > Pamela Morrison IBCLC, in Australia from Zimbabwe > ***************************** > Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2005 09:30:54 -0800 > From: gonneke van veldhuizen <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: milk expression and prolactin levels > > Dear friends, > > Either nothing has been said on this or I use inappropriate search terms, > but I can't find what I search for in the archives. > It has been said that simultane pumping will not only reduce time needed, > but also boost prolactin levels, thus increasing amount of milk expressed. > Does anyone know any references for this? > > Warmly, > Gonneke, > Dutch IBCLC, LLLL in Germany > *************************** > *********************************************** > > To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail > To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) > To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet > All commands go to [log in to unmask] > > The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned > LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) > mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
