Questionnaire survey on donor human milk programs targeting NICUs in Japan.

Published in: Pediatrics international : official journal of the Japan Pediatric Society (2022)

All NICUs responded that the indication for DHM was very-low birthweight and that such infants would receive health benefits from DHM. In Japan, there is a trend of starting EN early in VLBWIs. Accessibility to HMB may be important for starting EN within 24 h of birth.
