If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward. Martin Luther King, Jr. #MLKday

In our latest episode of Speaking of Human Milk we are talking with neonatologist Dr Evelyn Rider about the benefits of early fortification with human milkbased fortifiers in babies born weighing <1250 grams and how Prolacta’s fortifiers reduced the overall cost of care in her NICU. Listen in. https://hubs.ly/H0DVG3Q0 #nicunutrition #neonatologist #nicu #neonatalnurse #nicunurse #nicudietitian #neonataldieitian #micropreemie

In three recent studies, the use of Prolacta’s fortifiers as part of an Exclusive Human Milk Diet (EHMD) led to statistically significant decreases in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (weighted average of 9.7%) among premature infants compared to those fed cow milkbased fortifiers. Learn more about how an EHMD may help decrease BPD in premature infants by downloading our BPD fact sheet. https://hubs.ly/H0DR9TP0

Baby Kallie was born at 25 weeks gestation and weighed just 370 grams. She was the smallest baby ever treated in her NICU. But with the help of her fantastic medical team and good nutrition, she went home after 150 days in the NICU. Today, Kallie is 20 months old and is walking and can say 20 words.

How and when to introduce fortifiers is a common question. But what about how and when to transition off Prolacta’s human milkbased fortifiers? Our NAC dietitians discuss their thoughts. #nicudietitian #nicu #humanmilk

The full extent of how human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) impact the short- and long-term health of babies is still revealing itself. These complex sugars play a beneficial role in infants’ development. Learn what science has uncovered so far about the role HMOs play in infant health: https://hubs.ly/H0y9H9n0

Dr Amy Hair, Texas Children’s Hospital, presented a case study at #ICHMSI 2020 in which a premature infant born with mild lung disease was given human milkbased fortifiers followed by human milkbased cream. These efforts supported caloric intake needs despite fluid restrictions. Weight, length, and head circumference growth were excellent while the infant improved clinically.
