First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving pasteurized donor human milk to full-term babies of mothers with diabetes during the first five days of life can reduce the number of infants admitted to the neonatal unit for low blood sugar. About 1,444 mothers and their newborns will be randomly assigned to receive either donor milk as a supplement or standard hospital care. Researchers will also track breastfeeding success, maternal mental health, and cow's milk allergy symptoms.
