"For the smallest babies, it often signals the beginning of a slow and
painful death, one marked by increasingly desperate surgeries to remove dead
tissue from their bowels. Until a few years ago, Natalia's story would have
ended after her fifth surgery, when there was no more bowel left to remove,
when her liver finally gave way...." [This is an interesting story - an
infant's fight with pre-maturity and necrotizing enterocolitis. She received
a multi-organ transplant and is being nourished by her mother's milk. The
article includes a quote from the transplant surgeon who says human milk is
the best option after transplant. - JC]
