From a press release about the Supporting Premature Infant Nutrition
(SPIN) at the UC San Diego Medical Center:
"Breast is best" is a mantra every new mom hears with when it comes
to feeding her newborn. Human milk is known to boost brain
development, prevent life-threatening infections, decrease allergies,
and promote stronger bones and a higher IQ. But what's a mother to do
when her premature infant weighs only ounces and is not able to
swallow the milk?
To answer this question, researchers at UC San Diego Medical Center
have launched a comprehensive program to study how breast milk can be
fed to premature infants and to identify the ingredients that give
human milk its life-boosting qualities. Called Supporting Premature
Infant Nutrition (SPIN), the new program is focused on the provision,
analysis, and research of human milk to improve nutritional and
neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm babies. The program is
believed to be the first of its kind in the United States.
