How human milk shapes the gut microbiota in preterm infants: potential for optimizing early-life microbial development
Pamela Thomson, Daniel Garrido
TL;DR
Breast milk helps shape the gut microbiota in preterm infants, with direct breastfeeding being especially beneficial for gut health.
Contribution
The study highlights how feeding practices and antibiotics influence microbial sharing in preterm infants.
Findings
Breast milk significantly shapes the gut microbiota in preterm infants.
Direct breastfeeding promotes better gut health compared to other feeding practices.
Abstract
Breast milk plays a crucial role in shaping the gut microbiota of preterm infants, with significant microbial sharing influenced by feeding practices and antibiotics, highlighting the benefits of direct breastfeeding for gut health.
