Using Mother's Raw Milk Could Improve Breastfeeding in Hospitalized Neonates

Despite the importance of breast milk for sick or preterm neonates, there is currently no consensus regarding the use of raw mother's own milk (MOM) in neonatal units. The aims of this study are to: (a) describe factors associated with the use of raw MOM; (b) investigate the association between early use of raw MOM and breastfeeding continuation at discharge and up to 6 months later.
