This interventional study examines whether mindfulness and meditation–based lactation education influence maternal breastmilk outcomes for mothers who are pumping for a NICU infant. The project seeks to identify associations between mindfulness/meditation techniques and changes in breastmilk, with additional focus on maternal factors that may relate to lactation in the NICU setting.
The study notes related physiological targets such as cortisol and oxytocin, and psychological factors including anxiety and depression, but does not provide specific hypotheses or measured outcomes beyond associations with breastmilk. Key design elements and status details: the study is categorized under critical care and uses an intervention approach.
Enrollment is planned at approximately 40 participants. The trial is currently recruiting, with an estimated completion date in November 2026.
No concrete results, endpoints, or effect sizes are reported in the available description. Uncertainty: the source does not specify exact primary or secondary outcome measures, data collection time points, or analytic methods for lactation or neuroendocrine/psychological variables.
