title: Strategies to promote preterm breastfeeding.
abstract: A breastfeeding support programme based on the principles of normal lactation has been adapted to meet the needs of women and their premature or sick infants. The four specific areas are: the initiation and maintenance of lactation in-hospital breastfeeding growth and development transfer management. This approach has indicated substantial physiological and psychological benefits for mothers, and clear possibilities of maximising preterm infant growth.
