But why?
Breast milk is safe and loaded with antibodies.
It's easier to digest, protects the gut and improves feed tolerance.
Premature babies can usually tolerate breast milk through a feeding tube quite well.
What this means
That means it may reduce some of the risks of the health challenges your little one is facing, including a lower chance of infection thanks to drips being taken out sooner.
All of this adds up to an improved chance of you taking bub home sooner.
