Program Overview |
|
Human milk is the optimal food for any newborn at all stages of maturity. The benefits of human milk over formula have been documented over many years and include optimal supply of protein, calories, hormonal and immunological support. Maternal breast milk changes over time and adapts to the age of the infant. There is also the advantage of bonding for a breast feeding baby. Long term benefits include a reduction in childhood obesity and infant illness. The advantage of human milk is even stronger in the pre-term infant and is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) exclusively for the first 6 months of a baby's life.1
This program will primarily focus on human milk benefits for the very low birth weight infant.
