Primo-Lacto®: A closed system for colostrum collection
Problem: 25% of mothers do not breastfeed immediately after birth in the US due to pre-term birth, tongue tie, lack of sucking reflex, birth trauma or other health and attitude issues.
Solution: Primo-Lacto®, a dedicated device to collect colostrum through hand expression or pump expression.
Breastfeeding a sick, premature or non-latching baby can be challenging for moms and clinicians. Every baby deserves to have the best nutritional start, and every mom deserves to understand that their colostrum is the best food for their baby the first few days of life. I hope Primo-Lacto will empower new mothers who can't breastfeed right away, or who choose not to embark on a full course of breastfeeding, to supply their newborn with the antibodies and nutritional value their colostrum contains.
Primo-Lacto® was acquired by Lansinoh in 2018.
