To identify variables with intervention potential that are associated with the volume of depleted milk of mothers of newborns of premature infants. This is a cohort study, descriptive and exploratory. Data collection occurred in a maternal-infant hospital in southern Brazil from July 2021 to January 2022, through interviews with 20 mothers of premature newborns. It was verified that, in relation to the number of times per day that hospital and home exhaustion was performed, the median was 4 times. Most mothers used two methods of breast depletion (manual and with suction tight). The study identified that the volume of depleted milk was lower than expected by the Ministry of Health. We highlight the lack of demand of the milk bank for exhaustion, problems related to the breast, as an example of the method used for exhaustion.
