Abstract

Breastfeeding is one of the prominent topics of neonatal health care, especially for full-term and premature newborns. Effective lactation and successful breastfeeding depend on the organization of hospital policy for mothers and newborn babies, and breastfeeding counseling. The main task of modern obstetric institutions and hospitals with neonatal care is the implementation of modern technologies for encouragement, support,

and protection of breastfeeding. Principles of the management of breast milk expression in the hospital are discussed in the article. They give the chance to provide breastfeeding for the premature/sick newborns and support lactation when the mothers wean from the babies. The differences between different breast pump models: electric, manual, stationary and individual presented. Advantages of modern electric stationary breast pump Symphony were described. It allows double pumping that effectively stimulates lactation. Effective, safe and comfortable expression of the breast milk in neonatal hospital gives the chance to preserve the lactation effectively. Breastfeeding has a positive influence on mothers' mental state and ability to independently care for the child.
