Fortified breastmilk does not influence IQ in preterm infants Breastfeeding ChildHealth NeonatalIntensiveCare IQ PreTerm nutrition breastfeeding fortification preterminfant cognitivedevelopment pediatrics Nutrients_MDPI UniSouthDenmark
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Jul 13 2022Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent Nutrients study, scientists compare the cognitive and psychological development of preterm infants who were breastfed with or without fortification.
Most available studies have focused on the nutrition and growth of hospitalized infants in the neonatal intensive care unit . These infants receive the mother’s own milk and/or donor human milk supplemented with multi-nutrient fortifiers that contain fat, protein, carbohydrates, and various micronutrients essential for growth.
After discharge from the hospital, preterm breastfed infants often exhibit slower growth as compared to formula-fed infants. This suggests that exclusive breastfeeding post-discharge negatively affects the neural development of these infants. Nevertheless, more studies are needed to assess the different types of post-discharge nutrition and their effect on the future cognitive development of the child.
Ten to 14 days following the birth of the preterm infants, F-MOM was started and continued with reduced amounts until they were discharged from the hospital. DHM was amended if the available amount of MOM was insufficient. Although no difference in school-aged children’s IQ scores was observed between MOM groups, a relatively higher VC index was reported when these children were compared to the PF group by 3.2 points.
Notably, diet-based breastfeeding had a positive effect on the development of motor skills in the infants in both MOM groups as compared to infants fed with PF post-discharge.
