Summary: Oropharyngeal therapy with mother's own milk (OPT-MOM) did not reduce late-onset sepsis (L-OS), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) or death in preterm infants. However, there was a trend towards reduced length of stay and improved nutritional outcomes in the group receiving OPT-MOM.

Summary: This systematic review examined the effect of oropharyngeal application of colostrum or mother's own milk on preterm infants, and found that it can reduce the risk of infection and necrotizing enterocolitis, and has benefits in early feeding.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of oropharyngeal mother's milk administration on salivary secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) levels in preterm infants fed by gastric tube. The results showed that oropharyngeal mother's milk administration can improve the salivary sIgA levels of preterm infants.

Summary: Oral application of mother's own milk (OMOM) can reduce the incidence of late-onset sepsis in preterm infants, especially those born at 29-30 weeks gestation, without adverse effects.

Summary: The oropharyngeal administration of colostrum has an impact on the establishment of preterm infants' oral microbiota, leading to changes in the relative abundance of different bacterial species, with time being a key factor in oral modulation in early life.

Summary: The study found that pertussis-specific antibodies in mother's breast milk remained stable during infant digestion, while anti-pertussis IgA and IgG from donor breast milk decreased in gastric contents. The constant and variable regions of antibodies, along with maternal immunization, appear to be critical for their stability to proteolytic digestion and pasteurization.

Summary: Pituitary hormones like prolactin and luteinizing hormone were found to be higher in breast milk from mothers of preterm infants compared to term infants. Infant formulas have higher total protein content but do not contain detectable levels of pituitary hormones.

Summary: Feeding preterm infants with fresh mother's own milk (MOM) can protect them from complications and improve their outcomes. Compared to pasteurized MOM, feeding fresh MOM leads to a higher survival rate, lower incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and better feeding and growth outcomes.

Summary: In preterm and low birth weight infants, feeding with infant formula compared with mother's own milk has little effect on mortality, infection, growth, or neurodevelopment, but increases the risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study examined the associations between early exposure to mother's own milk (MOM) and neurodevelopmental outcomes among preterm infants, and compared these associations between singletons and twins. The results showed that MOM-exposed infants had better scores in personal-social, hearing-language, and total neurodevelopmental assessments compared to nonexposed infants. However, there were differences in MOM intake between singletons and twins. This study supports the positive association between early MOM exposure and neurodevelopmental outcomes in low-risk preterm infants, but the differential effects on singletons versus twins require further exploration.

Summary: This study compared the effects of exclusive breastmilk, mixed feeding, and exclusive formula feeding on preterm infants. The results showed that exclusive formula feeding was not associated with an increased risk of any adverse outcomes in the absence of own mother's breastmilk. Clinicians should take this finding into consideration when deciding on feeding options.

Summary: The study aimed to determine whether FMOM can be used to personalize DHM and found that FMOM can achieve a similar microbial composition to MOM, making it a feasible option in a milk restoration strategy.

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.

Summary: The study showed that inoculating PDHM with mother's own milk could restore bacterial growth and personalize the human milk microbiome in PDHM. This personalized effect is beneficial due to the presence of maternal probiotic bacteria in the milk, making PDHM more similar to the mother's own milk.
