「連用形」の情報
In Japanese, the conjunctive form is often called 'the ます form', or 'the conjunctive form'. 'The conjunctive form' is much more accurate, as it is used with more than just verbs. Basically, the conjunctive form is the form of any word that will be used in standard conjugation with other structures. For い-Adjectives, this is the form that uses く, for verbs, the ます stem.
The reason that conjunctive form is sometimes referred to as 'the formal conjunctive' is due to its use before a comma. Usually, the conjunction particle て would be used to separate clauses in sentences, however, the formal conjunctive allows this to be done without て. Let's look at some examples.

- 朝食を食べ、出かける準備をしてください。Eat your breakfast, (and) please get ready to go out.
- 北海道は寒く、景色が綺麗。Hokkaido is cold, (and) the scenery is pretty.
- 学校は楽しく、色々学べるので学校が好きです。School is fun, (and) I can learn various things so I like it.
Caution
This type of conjugation is seen primarily in formal writing, and the standard て form will be heard much more frequently in daily speech.同義語

It’s in the text I came across in a JLPT reading book.

It might not be required as " 母乳を求め母を呼ぶ" is not a separate clause in this case. I had a wee thought as well where you wouldn’t use a comma with the informal conjunctive
買い物をしに行って、野菜を買ってきた。
You’d stick a comma after 行って as it is separating the clauses, but you wouldn’t stick a comma after 買って as they’re the same clause. I wonder if your 母乳 sentence would fall into this category.
Asked my wife (she’s a native speaker and wives are usually right anyway). She’s not sure that it is absolutely required, however its unusual to not have a comma, and in this sentence it doesn’t have any 違和感. Adding in the commas is apparently very common in business Japanese as its seen as making the sentence easier to read and therefore is considerate and polite which is pretty much essential in Japanese.

Commas are usually added in for pause to make things easier to understand, and to avoid misunderstandings. You can read more about this here:
