Abstract

Breast milk is the white blood containing almost all the factors essential for the physical, physiological and psychological maturity of the preterm infant. Its function represents a continuum of the placental function. Preterm infants are inevitably deprived of the placenta in late pregnancy so the human factor should fight to provide the baby with this white blood; the breast milk. This needs a tight strategy to be mastered by the authorized personnel in the NICU. The policy should include the guidelines of milk expression, storage, transfer and providence to the baby. Promotion of the kangaroo mother care is an important adjuvant. Proper counselling of the mother is also of utmost importance together with the post discharge support of the mothers to continue breastfeeding.
