Resumen
SUAREZ RODRIGUEZ, Marta et al. Nutritional composition of donor human milk according to lactation period. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.6, pp.1118-1122. Epub 08-Feb-2021. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.03219.
Introduction:
when own mother's breast milk is unavailable, donor human milk is the best option to guarantee the nutritional requirements of preterm or ill newborns.
Objectives:
to analyze the macronutrient composition of donor breast milk and its evolution over lactation periods.
Material and methods:
we retrospectively analyzed the nutritional composition of 822.423 L of donor breast milk from 160 donors at the human milk bank of a third-level hospital between February 1, 2017 and December 31, 2019.
Results:
lipid and carbohydrate composition remains constant throughout lactation. However, protein content decreases initially to increase again starting in the second year of lactation.
Conclusions:
donor human milk banks should be aware of the variations in macronutrient composition donor human milk shows in order to optimize nutrition for preterm newborns.
