What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of breast-pumping frequency on breast milk supply/ volume in mothers of preterm infants. The main question it aims to answer is: \- What effect does pumping frequency have on breast milk supply. Researchers will compare breastmilk supply of mothers who pump every 2 hours to the supply of those who pump every 3 hours to see if there is a difference in the amount of breastmilk they produce. Participants will be assigned to either pump every 2 hours or every 3 hours and record how many milliliters of breastmilk they produce daily for the first 28 days of their baby's life.
