Breast milk protein could shield fragile preemies from deadly infections

NCT ID NCT07480434

Summary

This study tested whether giving lactoferrin, a natural protein found in breast milk, to premature babies could help prevent sepsis, a life-threatening infection. It involved 180 preterm, low-birth-weight infants who received the supplement soon after birth. The goal was to see if this safe, natural approach could reduce infection rates in this highly vulnerable group.
