Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
caloric value of breastmilk	at the end of each 24 hours collection from inclusion to the end of collection during 4 days	The caloric value will be compared between the two groups (pooled expressed breastmilk versus individual expressed breastmilk)

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
bacterial contamination of breastmilk	at the end of each 24 hours collection from inclusion to the end of collection during 4 days	The bacterial contamination of breastmilk will be compared between the two groups with the value for colony-forming units per milliliter (cfu/mL) after plating on sheep blood agar and Chapman's agar.
