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
