Post-Discharge Growth of Infants Who Received Donor Human Milk Products in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) (NCT01483079)
Evaluation of Post-Discharge Growth and Development of Infants Who Received Donor Human Milk Products in the NICU
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Human milk feeding is associated with great benefits to the health and development of infants, especially in premature infants. Some mothers are unable or unwilling to provide breast milk to their infant. The use of donor human milk products for very low birth weight infants as an alternative to cow milk has risen dramatically in the past year. Purpose: To evaluate post-discharge growth and neurodevelopment of infants less than or equal to 1250 grams birth weight receiving an exclusive human milk protein diet.
