| Abstract | Objective: To determine whether egg and milk supplement with regular diet can increase breastmilk volume at 48 and 72 hours postpartum.Materials and Methods: A randomized-controlled trial was conducted at Chiangrai PrachanukrohHospital between January 2013 and December 2013. One hundred and twenty term pregnantwomen with spontaneous vaginal delivery were randomized into four groups to receive (1)regular postpartum diet, (2) regular diet with milk supplement, (3) regular diet with eggsupplement, or (4) regular diet with egg and milk supplement three meals a day. Breast milkvolume was measured using an electric breast pump for 15 minutes for each breast at 48 and72 hours postpartum. The differences in breast milk volume at 48 and 72 hours postpartumbetween groups were assessed using an analysis of covariance adjusted for the variablessignifiantly different between groups at the time of delivery.Results: Age of postpartum mothers (p=0.039) and experience of breastfeeding (p=0.045)were signifiantly different between groups, but not body mass index, gestational age at deliveryand infant birth weight. In the analysis of covariance adjusted for maternal age and breastfeedingexperience, postpartum mothers who received a regular diet with egg and milk supplement hada signifiantly higher volume of breast milk at 48 and 72 hours compared to mothers who receiveda regular diet (p<0.001).Conclusion: A diet with both egg and milk supplement three meals a day signifiantly increasedbreast milk volume in lactating women. |
