Summary

This was a pilot randomized trial to examine the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a structured antenatal milk expression (AME) educational intervention on breastfeeding outcomes within a sample of low-risk pregnant individuals without other children. A convenience sample of 45 participants were enrolled and randomized to either the AME intervention or a control group receiving breastfeeding educational handouts. Both groups met with study staff at 37, 38, 39, and 40 weeks gestation to receive assigned intervention. AME participants practiced AME 1-2 times/day and recorded this in a diary. Data were collected from surveys, interviews, and electronic health record to 3-4 months postpartum.
