  • Title: The 3 M's of breast-feeding the preterm infant.
    Author: Hurst NM.
    Journal: J Perinat Neonatal Nurs; 2007; 21(3):234-9; quiz 240-1. PubMed ID: 17700100.
    Abstract:
    Mother's own milk is considered best for preterm infants. Given the often protracted period between birth and breast-feeding for most preterm newborns, a number of challenges exist for mothers and neonatal intensive care unit nurses in establishing lactation, providing mother's own milk, and achieving breast-feeding. This article conceptualizes breast-feeding the preterm infant in the context of the neonatal intensive care unit as a 3-phase process, the 3 M's of breast-feeding: medication, mother's milk feedings, and the mechanics of breast-feeding.
