...The International Classification of Retinopathy of Prematurity [84] was used to define ROP in most studies, with five studies providing no definition [21,22,34,37,51]....

...Randomised Trials: One small RT [34] (Table 1) reported the effect of EHM, including a human milk derived fortifier, versus EPTF, on the risk of NEC (any and severe) and did not detect a difference (any NEC RR 0....

...Sequence generation was not reported in three [34,36,37], blinding was not possible in one [37] and blinding of physicians but not nursing staff occurred in another [33]....

...Randomised trials: One RT [34] reported the effect of EHM feeding (including a human milk derived fortifier) compared with EPTF feeding on the incidence of LOS (Table 1) and indicating a possible reduction in LOS (RR 0....

...Nearly 80% of the milk fed to study infants was their mothers’ own milk so that benefits attributed only to donor human milk could not be ascertained fully.(8)...

...These data support those reported in our previous study of pasteurized donor human milk vs preterm formula used as supplements to a mother’s own milk diet.(8) The processing and preparation of an exclusive human milk diet require extensive technology for pasteurization and ultrafiltration to enable concentration of components to produce a human milk fortifier....

...We previously reported the beneficial effects of an exclusive human milk diet (mother’s own milk plus human milk–based human milk fortifier and supplementation only with pasteurized donor milk if needed) compared with a diet of mother’s own milk plus bovine milk–based human milk fortifier and supplementation with bovine milk–based products.(8) That multicenter randomized trial reported significantly less NEC and surgery for NEC in infants receiving the exclusive human milk diet....

...On the other hand, the 3% rate in the group exclusively fed human milk is in close agreement with that reported in the study by Sullivan et al.(8) Thus, the data from these 2 randomized trials contribute significant knowledge to enable guidelines for the feeding of premature infants....

...Sample size was based on the primary outcome, duration of parenteral nutrition, an objective, quantifiable surrogate of feeding tolerance and neonatal morbidity.(8) The mean duration of parenteral nutrition in extremely premature infants in a study of formula-fed infants was 35 days with an SD of 22 days (Paula Meier, MD and Cynthia Blanco, MD, personal communication, February 2007)....

...Premature infants receiving their ownmother’s milk have better feeding tolerance and a lower incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) than those fed preterm formula.(3) Because not all mothers of premature infants produce sufficient milk to meet their infants’ needs and some have medical contraindications, pasteurized donor human milk has emerged as an alternative for mother’s own milk....

...Furthermore, the US Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding directly states that more research is needed and that the use of donor human milk should be increased.(14) In conclusion, the results of this study and other recent studies,(2,8) as well as the US national recommendations, mandate a greater need for enhanced lactation support in the neonatal intensive care unit as well as an imperative to establish more human milk banks....

...A randomized trial was conducted in extremely premature infants fed either pasteurized donor human milk or preterm formula as supplements if their ownmother’s milk supply was inadequate.(7) The results of this trial found that infants who received their own mother’s milk had 50% less NEC and/or late-onset sepsis compared with infants fed either donor human milk or preterm formula....
