Donor Milk Utilization for Healthy Infants: Experience at a Single Academic Center

Abstract: At our center, the use of BDM for healthy infants increased substantially over the study period. More research is urgently needed to understand the repercussions of this practice on resource utilization as well as short- and long-term breastfeeding and health outcomes.

“…Other studies have shown that when PDM is paid for by private health insurance, this is the case [30,31]. Similarly, disparities in access to PDM according to race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, and access to private health insurance has been reported in the United States [15][16][17].…”

“…Nonetheless, access to DHM is increasingly desired by both families and providers as an alternative to formula supplements. 6,14 Policies are, therefore, required to guide this practice, particularly because DHM is a relatively limited and expensive resource and HMBANA recommends prioritizing for sick preterm infants. 16 The results of our study provide guidance for hospitals seeking to create or adapt policies for DHM use in the level 1 newborn care setting.…”

“…We also evaluated how DHM was described in each policy, including its source, safety, and claims of benefits. To capture eligibility criteria, the authors drew on criteria commonly specified for formula supplementation of breastfed newborns in level 1 care, 10,13,14 and additionally recorded other criteria listed in policies. We avoided drawing inferences from policy content and considered only explicit statements in our analysis.…”

“…Donor breast milk may also be used to supplement the breastfed newborn with hypoglycemia. Each of these alternative interventions come at a cost ( 23 , 24 ), and it remains unclear whether use of such approaches after birth will result in longer overall duration of breastfeeding after discharge from the birth hospital. As a result of this study, our center now offers mothers the choice of feeding donor milk or formula if mother’s own milk requires supplementation for hypoglycemia ( 20 ).…”
