Alimentazione esclusiva di neonati prematuri con latte materno
e donazione alla Banca del Latte Umano Donato (BLUD).

di “nutrizione precoce aggressiva” che prevede la combinazione di nutrizione sia enterale che parenterale istituita il primo possibile con apporti “sicuri” ed “efficaci” che hanno dimostrato di ridurre o azzerare quel gap di crescita postnatale che si osserva con la sola alimentazione con latte umano, senza peraltro, rischi aggiuntivi di NEC.
Altrettanto importante risulta essere il proposito di una maggiore diffusione non solo della cultura dell’allattamento materno per i prematuri ma anche della donazione, agendo sullo spirito di solidarietà e sulla generosità delle donne e in particolare delle madri che, noi stessi con la Banca del Latte, abbiamo sperimentato essere molto presente e vivo, anche oltre le nostre aspettative iniziali e al di là delle diverse caratteristiche e provenienze delle stesse. E auspicabile, infine, un arricchimento della letteratura sui dati di produzione di latte pretermine e di alimentazione del neonati prematuri, importanti per il miglioramento di questo aspetto dell’assistenza in TIN, così rilevante da condizionare l’esistenza di questa delicata popolazione di neonati presente e futura.
