Mother's own milk is considered best for preterm infants. Given the often protracted period between birth and breast-feeding for most preterm newborns, a number of challenges exist for mothers and neonatal intensive care unit nurses in establishing lactation, providing mother's own milk, and achieving breast-feeding. This article conceptualizes breast-feeding the preterm infant in the context of the neonatal intensive care unit as a 3-phase process, the 3 M's of breast-feeding: medication…

Breastfeeding preterm infant from the delivery ward via nicu to home
TLDR
Examination of how to support breastfeeding of preterm infants immediately after birth in the delivery ward, during their hospital stay in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and at home after hospital discharge found an internet-based breastfeeding peer support intervention was feasible but additional research is needed.
The Impact of Neonatal Service ReOrganisation on Feeding of Preterm Infants (<34 Weeks): A Prospective Cohort Study in a Regional Neonatal Unit from 1992 to 2010
Objectives: To describe Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) feeding practices during the neonatal period and explore predictors of any breast milk feeding at discharge among very preterm infants…
Breast milk cell components and its beneficial effects on neonates: need for breast milk cell banking
TLDR
The cell components of breast milk that have been identified to date are summarized and the beneficial effects of these cells for term and preterm delivered infants along with the need for breast milk and its cell banking are highlighted.
Born Too Soon: Care for the preterm baby
TLDR
A series of packages of care that build on essential care for every newborn comprising support for immediate and exclusive breastfeeding, thermal care, and hygienic cord and skin care are outlined.
Characteristics, Causes and Early Interventions for Preterm Birth - A Review Paper
TLDR
The normal length of pregnancy is 40 weeks as calculated from first day of the woman's last normal menstrual cycle, which is further subdivided on the basis of gestational age (GA).
EARLY INTERVENTION FOR PREMATURE INFANTS IN NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
TLDR
The aim of this article is to illustrate early intervention for children born prematurely in neonatal intensive care units as well as to present effectiveness of the most frequently used interventions, such as: Kangaroo Care, Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP), and music therapy (MT).
Breastfeeding promotion for infants in neonatal units: a systematic review and economic analysis.
TLDR
There is strong evidence that short periods of kangaroo skin-to-skin contact increased the duration of any breastfeeding for 1 month after discharge, and limited evidence suggests that cup feeding (versus bottle feeding) may increase breastfeeding at discharge and reduce the frequency of oxygen desaturation.
Cellular Components, Including Stem-Like Cells, of Preterm Mother's Mature Milk as Compared with Those in Her Colostrum: A Pilot Study.
TLDR
Preterm mature milk was found to possess higher expressions of hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem-like cells,immune cells, immune cells, few cell adhesion molecules, and side population cells than colostrum.

Physiological responses of preterm infants to breast-feeding and bottle-feeding with the orthodontic nipple.
TLDR
Data suggest that the orthodontic nipple is appropriate for supplementing breast-feeding for some preterm infants, and Statistically significant differences were found in that infants breathed more during sucking bursts for breast- feeding sessions when compared to bottle-feeding sessions and had fewer episodes of oxygen desaturation during breast-feed.
The use of human milk and breastfeeding in premature infants.
Mothers Performing In-Home Measurement of Milk Intake During Breastfeeding of their Preterm Infants: Maternal Reactions and Feeding Outcomes
TLDR
It is demonstrated that mothers of premature infants who performed in-home test-weighing procedures found the technique to be helpful and experienced no increased stress or lower achievement of breastfeeding goals when compared to mothers not performing test weighs.
The development of preterm infants' breastfeeding behavior.
Breastfeeding infants who were extremely low birth weight.
TLDR
Breastfeeding the ELBW infant is desirable from a standpoint of improved physiologic responses, but such practice requires breastfeeding support and possible supplementation to optimize weight gain.
The role of human milk fortification for premature infants.
Randomized Trial of Donor Human Milk Versus Preterm Formula as Substitutes for Mothers' Own Milk in the Feeding of Extremely Premature Infants
TLDR
It is found that, as a substitute for MM, DM offered little observed short-term advantage over PF for feeding extremely premature infants, butvantages to an exclusive diet of MM were observed in terms of fewer infection-related events and shorter hospital stays.
Suction patterns in preterm infants
TLDR
The suction pattern for breast and bottle feeding in two groups of preterm infants is described and it was found that the efficiency of suction was significantly lower in the first minute than in breastfeeding.

TLDR
The CBM system has enabled the laboratory to measure breast growth and demonstrate the importance of the short-term local control of milk synthesis in lactating women, and the interaction between storage capacity, degree of fullness, and frequency of milk removal plays a significant role.
Oral feeding in premature infants: advantage of a self‐paced milk flow
TLDR
The aims of this study were to identify the principle(s) by which oral feeding of premature infants was enhanced when milk was delivered through a self‐paced flow system and to develop a practical method to implement the self‐ paced system in neonatal nurseries.
