Abstract

What advice for families when breastfeeding is not an option in neonatal units? The study discussed in this podcast highlights that formula milk offers short-term benefits but may not result in any long-term benefits for growth or development over donor breast milk. The paper also concluded that formula milk appears to significantly increase risk of necrotising enterocolitis.

Fingerprint

Feeding preterm infants with formula rather than donor breast milk is associated with faster rates of short-term growth, but increased risk of developing necrotising enterocolitis
