None of the trials individually found any statistically significant difference in the incidence of NEC .
However , meta- analysis found that feeding with donor human milk was associated with a significantly reduced relative risk ( RR ) of NEC .
OBJECTIVES To determine if enteral feeding with donor human milk compared with formula milk reduces the incidence of necrotising enterocolitis ( NEC ) in preterm or low birthweight infants .
The value of human milk in the prevention of infection in the high-risk low-birth-weight infant.
A controlled prospect i ve study was undertaken of 62 high-risk low-birth-weight infants to evaluate the effect of expressed human milk on the prevention of infection . One half received EHM and the remaining half were administered the nursery formula . There was no statistically significant difference in the predisposing factors in the two groups . Infections , however , were much fewer in babies who received EHM (
