Summary

This study looks at whether giving pasteurized donor milk instead of formula to newborns at risk for low breastfeeding helps them breastfeed longer and more exclusively. About 112 infants born to diabetic mothers, small for gestational age, or late preterm are randomly assigned to receive donor milk or formula as a supplement. The main goal is to see if donor milk increases exclusive breastfeeding at 4 months.
