Abstract:
When directly breast feeding for preterm infants is not available,a preferred alternative is expressed maternal milk or donor breast milk.The evidences to date indicated that feeding preterm infants with expressed maternal milk and donor breast milk was associated with a slower growth in the early postnatal period,the effects on long-term growth in preterm infants was still unclear.Feeding with expressed maternal milk and donor breast milk could deliver preterm infants a degree of specific components of human milk.The potential benefits of the specific components for preterm infants were associated with promoting neurodevelopment and decreasing the incidence of feeding complications.Before expressed maternal milk and donor breast milk are widely used in clinical practice,further studies are still needed to explore the long-term effects on growth and development in preterm infants.
