Valerie,

I think that is very well possible to explain to any mom that, allthough
mom's milk is the perfect food for term babies and moderately premature born
babies, nature did not foresee that babies born at a younger gestational age
than about 32 weeks could stay alive. The nutritional needs at younger ages
differ greatly from those that are more mature and needs to be more like the
food the baby gets in utero.

Warmly greeting,

Gonneke
