Version 2.0 January 2020 2
1.0 Introduction
Background Breastfeeding has a major role to play in Public Health as it promotes health and prevents illness in both mothers and babies. The World Health Organisation (WHO, 2011) recommends that infants should be exclusively breastfed from birth to six months. The Department of Health (2016) supports this stance stating that breastfeeding reduces illness through lowering the rates of gastroenteritis, respiratory infection and that it is associated with lower levels of childhood obesity. It benefits mothers by reducing the risk of them suffering from breast and ovarian cancer; it helps them to reduce their weight more easily after the birth of their baby (BMA Board of Science, 2009, cited in Public Health Outcomes Framework, 2016). Breastfeeding is associated with other health benefits; in children this includes prevention of ear infections, necrotising enterocolitis, allergies, sudden infant death, Type 1 diabetes and childhood leukaemia while in mothers it includes reducing the risk of cardio vascular disease and obesity (Unicef, 2016). A reduction in these conditions results in cost savings to the NHS through reduced hospital admissions and treatment.
The health benefits which result from effective infant feeding go beyond promoting good physical health; breastfeeding supports positive mental health in mothers and better mental health outcomes in children (Heikkila et.al.,2011, Licate et.al., 2015, Oddy,et.al., 2009, Jackson,D., 2016).
Dudley Borough has a particularly low initiation rate for breastfeeding with the figures of 51.3% (NHS England 2017) while in England as a whole the average rate for initiation is 74.5% (Public Health England,2016/ 17). Figures show that in England as a whole at 6 weeks of age the breastfeeding rate is 47.9% while in Dudley it is 50% with 37% of babies totally breastfed and 13% partially breastfed (Local statistics, Quarter 2, 2019/20).The loan of a breast pump can help to increase the length of time that a woman can continue to breastfeed her baby for. Helping women to initiate breastfeeding and to continue to breastfeed are in line the Baby Friendly Initiative Standards (Unicef, 2019) and NICE guidelines (2015) also support this stance.
This policy sets out the guidelines for the supply and use of the ‘Ardo Calypso Electric Breast Pump’ (see Appendix 1 and 2) to breastfeeding mothers. Some mothers may need to express breast milk and while hand expression is the method taught to mothers and is the one of choice, it is recognised that there are some occasions when the use of an electric breast pump is a good alternative. It is acknowledged that an electric breast pump may be an appropriate mechanism to help establish or support lactation, especially for longer term use.
Application of This Policy
2.0 Purpose
The purpose of the Breast Pump Policy is to provide evidenced based information and advice to be given by health professionals to all parents in Dudley to provide a safe, clear process for the supply and use of the ‘Ardo Calypso Electric Breast Pump’. The policy provides healthcare professionals who are responsible for supplying the pumps with clear guidance of when the pumps should be supplied, who is eligible to receive the pumps and the return procedure.
The information provided within this policy is in line with Breastfeeding Network BfN (2019) leaflet ‘Expressing and Storing Breast milk’ and Ardo company (downloaded, 2020).

Version 2.0 January 2020 4
The Health Professional must: Ensure that a face to face consultation has taken place and that the breastfeeding assessment page has been completed in the parent held record. Where mother and baby are together the Health Professional must observe the baby feeding.

Version 2.0 January 2020 5
Up to 5 days in the main part of the fridge at 4 degrees C or lower Up to 2 weeks in the freezer compartment of a fridge Up to 6 months in a domestic freezer, at minus18 or lower
Mothers should be advised that breast milk stored for less than 5 days in the fridge has it properties preserved more effectively than freezing.
Mothers should be advised that frozen breastmilk should defrost in the fridge and should not be re frozen once it has been thawed. A microwave oven should never be used to warm or defrost breastmilk.
Unicef Baby Friendly Standards
Stage 3 has been achieved by the Health Visiting and Family Nurse Partnership Services and therefore staff are enabled to:
Support pregnant women to recognize the importance of breastfeeding and early relationships. Enable mothers to continue breastfeeding for as long as they want. Support mothers to make informed decisions regarding the introduction of food or solids other than breastmilk. Support parents to have a close and loving relationship with their baby.
CQC Regulation 14: Meeting Nutritional and Hydration Needs
The intention of this regulation is to make sure that people who use services have adequate nutrition and hydration to sustain life and good health and reduce the risks of malnutrition and dehydration while they receive care and treatment.
To meet this regulation, where it is part of their role, providers must make sure that people have enough to eat and drink to meet their nutrition and hydration needs and receive the support they need to do so.
People must have their nutritional needs assessed and food must be provided to meet those needs. This includes where people are prescribed nutritional supplements and/or parenteral nutrition. People's preferences, religious and cultural backgrounds must be taken into account when providing food and drink.
