Optimising the Expression of Breastmilk and the Importance of Flange Sizing

This staff training webinar is aimed at those who support mothers express breastmilk on the NNU, TCU, postnatal ward or community. The objectives are to raise awareness of the importance of flange fitting and provide the skills to deliver this care. This practice is a recommendation of newly published research. This demonstrates that when women are correctly fitted with a breast pump flange they will achieve a higher milk yield and experience less discomfort . The webinar was produced in collboration between University Hospitals Southampton, Health Innovation Wessex and NHS South West.
