Outcome

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