actually it is a wonderful article about mother's milk and an indictment of formula!

A "NEC  Free NICU" Through Breastfeeding Quality Improvement Project (QIP), Pediatrics Vol. 135, Supplement 1, Feb 2015, p. S13.

In a country with a low national breastfeeding rate, we found that 100% breastmilk exposure to extremely low birth weight infants and 80% uptake by very low birth weight infants could be established through a QIP.  For the first time in the history of our unit [a tertiary NICU] , in 2013, we had no NEC: the information is now uploaded to the Vermont Oxford Network.  Our post-QIP staff surveys show evidence of sustainability of the project. 

They really need a huge round of applause!  Pat in SNJ
