Abstract
Maintenance of lactation during adverse neonatal conditions is a challenge to every NICU mother and expressed breast milk is vital for the recovery of majority of NICU babies. Therefore ensuring adequate quantity of expressed breast milk is a great responsibility that lies with NICU professionals. Many adjuvant techniques are proved to be cost effective in improving the quantity of expressed breast milk. However adjuvant methods for expression of breast milk are underutilised in many of the healthcare settings and these practices needs to be strengthened.
