Human milk is the ideal food for preterm infants,with benefits that are unique in addition to those received by term,healthy infants.Greater physiologic stability occurs with breastfeeding compared with formula feeding.Consumption of alcohol during lactation is approached with caution.Excessive amounts can have serious effects on the infant and can adversely affect the mother's milk ejection reflex.To establish an optimal milk supply,the mother should be instructed to pump 8 to 10 times a day for 10 to 15 minutes on each breast.Pumping 8 to 10 times a day for 10 to 15 minutes on each breast is the most appropriate instruction for the parents.
