The Evidence for the Benefits from Breast Milk in the Neurodevelopment of Premature Babies—A Review of the Recent Literature
Highlights
- Contribution of breast milk in relation to neurological development of premature babies is generally positive.
- Regarding cognitive development, conclusions are less clear since outcomes are generally confounded by other factors.
