Preemie+
Symphony Initiation Card



Bringing Human Milk to Babies who Need it Most
For premature infants, receiving higher amounts of human milk versus
formula feedings during this time reduces the incidence and severity
of prematurityspecific morbidities, with potential NICU cost savings.
Preemie+ assists initiating and maintaining lactation in breastpump-dependent mothers with premature infants in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).

Early and effective sucking from the baby is crucial to support milk initiation. It is a challenge to establish and maintain milk supply for mothers whose non-sucking, premature infants are cared for in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The research based pumping program Preemie+ reflects the varying sucking and pausing rhythm of a newborn baby during the early post-birth period. In combination with the proven 2-Phase standard program, the Symphony hospital grade breast pump offers the ultimate solution.
Greater average output – significantly more milk compared to the Symphony Standard 2.0 program alone
- Day 5 – 43% more milk output
- Day 10 – 71% more milk output
- Day 14 – 36% more mothers achieved the milk output target of ≥ 350 mL/d post-birth, which would be sufficient to exclusively feed human milk to their premature infants at NICU discharge
