Area of Science:

Neonatal care
Lactation support
Public health interventions

Background:

Mother's own milk (MOM) is crucial for preterm infants, reducing complications.
Despite high initiation rates, many preterm infants do not receive MOM at discharge.
Previous interventions like outreach and SMS improved MOM provision in term dyads.

Purpose of the Study:

To increase MOM provision rate from 61% to over 80% for preterm infants.
To implement standardized lactation education and the BLOSSoM SMS program.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the BLOSSoM program in supporting NICU mothers.

Main Methods:

A multidisciplinary team implemented Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles.
Interventions included standardized lactation education and the Breastfeeding & Lactation Outreach via SMS Supporting Mothers (BLOSSoM) program.
The primary outcome was MOM provision at NICU discharge/transfer for infants <34 weeks gestation.

Main Results:

The monthly MOM provision rate increased from 61% to 81%.
87% of BLOSSoM participants completed evaluations, with 83% finding the program most supportive.
SMS features like educational videos (78%) and 2-way texting (24%) were highly valued.

Conclusions:

A multidisciplinary approach significantly improved MOM provision for preterm infants.
The BLOSSoM SMS program, offering educational texts/media and 2-way communication, was key to success.
SMS communication was well-accepted and valued by lactating mothers in the NICU.
