Use the INITIATE program directly after
birth until the mother has reached secretory
activation:
• For fully pump-dependent mothers:
This can be indicated by pumping
at least 20 ml in total in each of her
last three pumping sessions. If not
all pumping volumes have been
recorded, this can be indicated by
other physiological markers of secretory
activation, such as breast fullness.
• When the mother is breastfeeding
and pumping: This can be indicated by
other physiological markers of secretory
activation, such as breast fullness
OR
• Throughout the first five days. If milk
production has not started after five
days, change to the MAINTAIN
program.
Use the MAINTAIN program after
secretory activation:
• Once the mother has pumped at
least 20 ml in total in each of her
last three pumping sessions, OR
• Beginning on day six, whichever
of the two options comes first.
