Early Bloomers: A Nursing-Driven Program to Support Human Milk Feeding Among Late Preterm Infants in the Mother-Baby Unit

Katherine R. Standish, Ginny Combs, Marcy Mcmahon, Cheryl Slater, Lisa Zani, Christina Pindar, Karol Serafin, Margaret G. Parker, Barbara L. Philipp

Summary: Late preterm infants have lower breastfeeding rates and there are few interventions or guidelines for managing them in non-intensive nursery settings. This study developed and implemented an interdisciplinary breastfeeding support program, which increased nurses' attentiveness and confidence in caring for late preterm infants. However, well-designed clinical studies are needed to identify effective breastfeeding support practices.

An Alternative to Mother's Own Milk: Maternal Awareness of Donor Human Milk and Milk Banks

Lindsay Ellsworth, Julie Sturza, Kate Stanley

Summary: The study revealed that most mothers have limited knowledge about donor human milk and milk banks, and have not received sufficient counseling from medical providers. While participants had positive attitudes towards donor human milk, they tended to choose formula over donor human milk when making decisions. Additionally, if donor human milk was the only option, they preferred milk from a relative or friend over milk banks.

Processing Human Milk to Increase Nutrient Density for Preterm Infants

Hande Z. Ulus, Merve Yasemin Tekbudak, Jonathan C. Allen

Summary: The research aimed to concentrate human milk in a milk bank setting by precipitating lactose, in order to increase its caloric and protein density while avoiding the side effects of high osmolality. The results showed that lactose and osmolality were significantly reduced in the concentrated milk without significant protein loss. This method could potentially provide a simple and low-cost solution for feeding preterm infants with higher nutrient density and no non-human components.

What are Optimal Bacteriological Screening Test Cut-Offs for Pasteurized Donor Human Milk Intended for Feeding Preterm Infants?

Vanessa Clifford, Laura D. Klein, Christine Sulfaro, Tass Karalis, Veronica Hoad, Iain Gosbell, Joanne Pink

Summary: Definitive criteria for microbial screening of pasteurized donor human milk are not well established and international recommendations vary. Our study found a discard proportion of 6.7% using United Kingdom guidelines, but applying European Milk Bank Association recommendations could lead to a much higher discard rate of approximately 23.3%. Further research is needed to understand and justify these stringent criteria.

Longitudinal changes of lactopontin (milk osteopontin) in term and preterm human milk

Jing Zhu, Xue Yu, Yiran Wang, Shasha Bai, Jianqiang Lai, Xiaomei Tong, Yan Xing

Summary: This study examined the longitudinal changes in lactopontin (LPN) concentrations in the milk of preterm and term infants and explored the links between maternal characteristics, LPN levels, and child growth. The results showed that LPN levels gradually decreased with lactation, and LPN change over time differed significantly between preterm and term milk. Maternal age and pre-pregnancy BMI were found to be significant contributors to LPN levels. Higher levels of LPN in breast milk may be beneficial for infant catch-up growth.
