Abstract:
Women with gestational hyperglycemia tend to encounter breastfeeding difficulties, which may lead to breastfeeding failure or short duration of breastfeeding. Antenatal breastmilk expression, stimulating or massaging the breasts during pregnancy to produce milk and to collect and store colostrum, is beneficial to lactogenesis, thereby reducing formula feeding, promoting the transition to exclusive breastfeeding and increasing the exclusive breastfeeding rate. This review summarizes the safety and feasibility of antenatal breastmilk expression for women with gestational hyperglycemia, aiming to provide breastfeeding guidance for this population.
