Enablers and barriers for enteral feeding with mother`s own milk in preterm very low birth weight infants in a tertiary care neonatal intensive care unit

CONCLUSIONS: ELBW infants and IUGR infants are susceptible to low MOM feeding. The total of milk expressions in the first 3 days, number of night expressions in the first week, maternal visits on day 1 and the average MOM amount in the first 2 weeks are enablers for MOM feeding.PMID:34449138 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2021.04.003
