Determinants of human milk lactoferrin concentrations in rural Bangladesh
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein in human milk (HM) that reduces the risk of neonatal sepsis. Data from low- and middle-income countries regarding the determinants of HM lactoferrin concentration is limited. Our objectives were to assess how HM lactoferrin concentrations change over time and identify factors associated with lactoferrin concentration. From a pregnancy cohort in Sylhet, Bangladesh, we enrolled 99 women to join the lactat…
Neonatal diet and growth outcomes in hospitalised very preterm infants
Background: Up-to-date data from middle-income countries are needed to inform in-hospital feeding practices among small, vulnerable newborns. We aimed to quantify growth indicators and their associations with in-hospital diet for infants born very preterm or with a very low birth weight (VLBW) of 401-1500 g in 12 middle income countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Methods: We performed an observational cohort study of infants born at 22-2…
Maternal Milk Provision in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Mother–Infant Emotional Connection for Preterm Infants
Maternal milk (MM) intake during neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization is associated with improved neurodevelopment in preterm infants. Underlying mechanisms may include stronger mother-infant emotional connection. This paper examines associations between MM provision in the NICU with maternal connection to her infant using three factors validated in our sample: maternal sensitivity, emotional concern, and positive interaction/engag…
Associations of Macronutrient Intake Determined by Point-of-Care Human Milk Analysis with Brain Development among very Preterm Infants
Point-of-care human milk analysis is now feasible in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and allows accurate measurement of macronutrient delivery. Higher macronutrient intakes over this period may promote brain growth and development. In a prospective, observational study of 55 infants born at <32 weeks’ gestation, we used a mid-infrared spectroscopy-based human milk analyzer to measure the macronutrient content in repeated samples of human …
