Study Summary
SALT is a multi-centre, non-blinded, non-randomized prospective interventional pilot study teaching lactating parents of hospitalized preterm infants how to test their breastmilk sodium (Na) using point-of-care (POC) meters. A drop in Na is a sign of secretory activation in the breast that is associated with adequate short and long-term breast milk volumes in this vulnerable population. Primary Objective: Establish feasibility, acceptance, and time cost of parent-led parent milk Na testing in the first 14 days postpartum Secondary Objective: Further investigate relationships between pumping behaviours, lactation risk factors, daily milk Na and lactation outcomes Exploratory Objective: Explore how POC Na data may be used to modify pumping behaviour and milk volumes
Primary Outcome
We will collect time cost of milk testing, including teaching parents how to test milk and daily time testing milk. This outcome will include time (in hours) spent in the first 14 days for parent and staff, with a health economist determining costs for that time
