S4526: Role of Donor Milk in Prevention of NEC and Other Complications of Prematurity

Monday, September 29, 2025
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM MDT
Location: Colorado Convention Center, Meeting Room 103/105
CME 1.00

Topic(s): Neonatology and Perinatology; Breastfeeding

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal emergency in newborns. There is evidence that human milk decreases NEC and other comorbidities. When mothers’ milk is unavailable, pasteurized donor milk is the standard of care. This session will review AAP guidelines to promote an exclusive human milk diet to reduce disease.
