How is this for starters:


Brain development not completed
Human milk contains components to promote AND Brain myelinization
Increased development of brain synapses 
Human Milk higher Anti-Oxidant Activity than infantformula
Preterm have Lower Anti-oxidant Capacity
Human Milk helps neutralize oxidative stress 
(Ezaki et al. J Clin Bio Nutr 42;133-137. 2008)
 
Breastmilk Has Sialic acid-containing oligosaccharides 
Low (20%) in infant formulas
Cannot be synthesized by the infant
Higher brain ganglioside and glycoprotein sialic acidconcentrations lead to enhanced developmental outcomes  (Wang et al. AJ of Clin Nutr.2003;78:1024-1029)
Preterm Infants (ELBW) who received the most Human Milkhad an increase of 5 IQ points
Those exclusively formula fed had a 5 point DEFICIT
(Vohr et al. Pediatrics. 2006: 118;e115-123)
SIDS Risk Doubled in late preterm  (Walker M, Breastfeeding the LatePreterm Infant in Clinics in Human Lactation 4.    Hale Publishing: Amarillo ,Tx; 2009)
And breastfeeding can decrease the risk by 50% (Pediatrics.2009; 123 (3):e406-410).
For every 10ml/kg per day increase in breastmilkingestion the likelihood of re-admission decreased by 6% (Vohr et al.Pediatrics, 118;e115-123)
 
This article “Risk Ratio for Infant Mortality in LatePreterm vs. Term Infants (J Pediatr 2007;151:450-6)”  Shows that these infants are atincreased risk for SIDS, Sepsis, Influenza, NEC and are more likely to die fromthese diseases.  


Good Luck--also breastfed babies less likely to be abused/neglected.
