Pumping Pathways in the NICU

Overview

The Pumping Pathways in the NICU Project is a Mississippi Perinatal Quality Collaborative (MSPQC) quality improvement initiative designed to increase the use of mother’s own milk (MOM) among NICU infants, particularly those born ≤34 weeks gestation and/or ≤1500 grams.

The project focuses on strengthening hospital systems to support early, consistent, and effective milk expression for pump-dependent mothers. Through standardized education, improved access to hospital-grade pumps, and ongoing lactation support, participating hospitals will implement evidence-based practices to improve milk production and availability at discharge. These efforts aim to improve infant outcomes and reduce complications among high-risk populations. The project is currently accepting interested hospitals.
