First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether providing nutritional information and personal milk DHA feedback to breast milk donors can improve the omega-3 content of their milk. Sixty new donors from a UK milk bank will receive educational resources and some will also learn their milk's DHA levels. The goal is to see if these tools help donors make dietary changes that boost key nutrients for preterm babies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

nutritional information resources and milk DHA level feedback

What this could lead to

If successful, these resources could be adopted by UK milk banks to improve the nutritional quality of donor milk for preterm infants.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (60 participants) testing acceptance and short-term changes, not clinical outcomes. Results may not generalize to all donors or guarantee improved infant health.
