Mindfulness and Meditation for Breastmilk Production in the NICU
This study is looking at whether mindfulness and meditation techniques can help mothers produce more breastmilk for their babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). You would either receive standard lactation care, or standard care plus an extra session with a lactation consultant focused on mindfulness, and a pumping meditation audio recording. Researchers will measure changes in your breastmilk volume over 20 days. You might be able to join if you are a mother over 20, can read English, gave birth at Mayo Clinic Rochester, and your baby was born before 34 weeks and is now in the NICU. The study is currently recruiting about 40 participants, but its overall status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 40 participants to compare standard care with a mindfulness-based intervention.
- What's involved
- You would record pumping session times on days 0, 10, and 20. If in the mindfulness group, you would also listen to a pumping meditation audio recording.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
