Claim:
1. A method for administering a milk expression protocol for a nursing mother using a breastpump, comprising the steps of: measuring a volume of milk expressed from the mother using the breastpump, the milk being produced in at least three pumping sessions, where the breastpump is used to express milk from the mother and where a first pumping session is the first milk expression for a day, a second pumping session next occurs after the first pumping session, and a following pumping session is after the second pumping session on the same day, defining the volume of milk expressed in the following pumping session to be an average yield of milk production per pumping session, performing a regression analysis to calculate an amount that an interval of expression used by the nursing mother is extendable without compromising a daily total volume of milk produced, wherein the daily total volume of milk produced is calculated based on the defined average yield of milk production per pumping session, and providing an expression protocol for the mother based upon the regression analysis comprising the amount that the interval of expression can be extended by the mother.
