The extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) of very preterm infants has been associated with long-term complications and neurodevelopmental problems. EUGR has been reported at higher rates in low resource settings. There is limited research investigating how metropolitan human milk banks contribute to the growth outcomes of very preterm infants cared in rural areas. The setting of this study is located at a rural county in Taiwan and affiliated with the Taiwan Southern Human Milk Bank. Donor human milk was provided through a novel supplemental system. A renewal nutritional protocol was initiated as a quality improvement project after the affiliated program. This study aimed to compare the clinical morbidities and growth outcome at term equivalent age (TEA) of preterm infants less than 33 weeks of gestational age before (Epoch-I, July 2015–June 2018, n = 40) and after the new implementation (Epoch-II, July 2018–December 2020, n = 42). The Epoch-II group significantly increased in bodyweight z-score at TEA ((−0.02 ± 1.00) versus Epoch-I group (−0.84 ± 1.08), p = 0.002). In multivariate regression models, the statistical difference between two epochs in bodyweight z-score changes from birth to TEA was still noted. Modern human milk banks may facilitate the nutritional protocol renewal in rural areas and improve the growth outcomes of very preterm infants cared for. Establishing more distribution sites of milk banks should be encouraged.

Background: Human milk is the optimal food for newborns. Choices to feed preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units are mother’s milk, donor milk, or formula. Preterm infants have better tolerance for human milk, but the lower caloric density of donor milk might not meet preterm infant growth needs. Preterm infants have higher protein and energy requirements with a limited stomach capacity. Therefore, there is a need for human milk with increased nutrient density. Research Aim: To concentrate donor milk to have a higher caloric and protein density while avoiding side effects of high osmolality by precipitating lactose at low temperatures. Methods: We investigated the results of volume reduction and lactose removal processes on the lactose, protein, osmolality, and viscosity of human milk. Donor milk was obtained from WakeMed Mothers’ Milk Bank. Homogenization and evaporative condensation were applied to samples ( N = 36) before they were stored frozen overnight, followed by refrigerated centrifugation for lactose removal at 0 °C. Supernatants were separated and compared to the composition of controls. Results: A significant reduction of lactose ( SW = -262, p < .0001) and osmolality ( SW = -211.5 p < .01) was achieved in the concentrated milk without a significant protein loss from centrifugation ( SW = -44.5, p = .49). A 30%–40% volume reduction is within the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended osmolality for infant feeding. Conclusion: Concentrating human milk in a milk bank setting for feeding preterm infants might be a simple and low-cost process to achieve a product with higher nutrient density and no non-human components.

ABSTRACTObjective: to report the interest and concern shown by fathers, in relation to diet to be offered to their children for lack of milk from the mother. Method: this is a descriptive report of experience conducted in a human milk bank in a federal hospital in Natal, Brazil, in order to get the food for the newborn. Results: the milk bank can not supply the request to all preterm infants, leaving the grieving parent for wanting to give his son the pasteurized human milk. This causes the parent capture donations of human milk in the community to ensure food for the child. The milk is pasteurized brought by him and being fit for consumption, is administered as prescribed. Conclusion: the father demonstrates believe the quality of human milk and pasteurized to ensure you search for the child. It is believed that his conduct is related to the conceptions of gender that involves the male in society. Thus it is the man to provide food and ensure the well being of those under their responsibility. Descriptors: breastfeeding; breast milk; parenting; premature newborn; newborn.RESUMOObjetivo: relatar o interesse e a preocupação demonstrada por pais, em relação à dieta que será oferecida aos seus filhos por falta do leite da mãe. Método: estudo descritivo tipo relato de experiência vivenciada em um banco de leite humano de uma instituição hospitalar federal, em Natal/RN, Brasil, a fim de conseguir o alimento para o recém nascido. Resultados: o banco de leite não consegue suprir a solicitação para todos os prematuros, deixando o pai aflito por querer dar ao filho o leite humano pasteurizado. Isso faz com que esse genitor capte doações de leite humano, na comunidade, a fim de garantir o alimento para o filho. O leite trazido por ele é pasteurizado e estando próprio para consumo, é administrado conforme prescrição. Conclusão: o pai demonstra acreditar na qualidade do leite humano pasteurizado e busca assegurá-lo para o filho. Acredita-se que sua conduta guarda relação com as concepções de gênero que envolve o masculino na sociedade. Assim sendo cabe ao homem prover alimento e garantir o bem estar daqueles que estão sob sua responsabilidade. Descritores: aleitamento materno; leite humano; paternidade; recém-nascido prematuro; recém-nascido. RESUMENObjetivo: comunicar el interés y la preocupación mostrada por los padres en relación a la dieta que se ofrecerán a sus hijos por falta de leche materna. Método: Memoria descriptiva de la experiencia realizada en un banco de leche humana en un hospital federal en Natal, Brasil, con el fin de conseguir el alimento para el recién nacido. Resultados: el banco de leche no puede suministrar la solicitud a todos los recién nacidos prematuros, dejando a los padres afligidos por querer dar a su hijo la leche pasteurizada humanos. Esto provoca que las donaciones de captura de los padres de la leche materna de la comunidad para asegurar la alimentación para el niño. La leche se pasteuriza por él, y ser aptos para el consumo, se administra según lo prescrito. Conclusión: el padre demuestra que la calidad de la leche humana pasteurizada y le aseguro búsqueda de su hijo. Se cree que su conducta está relacionada con las concepciones de género que implica la masculina en la sociedad. Por lo tanto, es el hombre para proporcionar alimentos y asegurar el bienestar de aquellos bajo su responsabilidad.
