Brief Summary:
This study aims to identify whether an exclusive human milk diet (EHMD) would improve outcomes in neonates with congenital gastrointestinal disorders (CGD) and by facilitating an earlier transition off of parenteral nutrition (PN).
Detailed Description:
Infants born with congenital gastrointestinal disorders (CGD) can be very challenging to treat. The CGD require surgery shortly after birth to correct the problems and recovery can take a long time.
During the period of time the infant's intestines are sick or don't work properly, they rely on parenteral nutrition (IV fluids containing carbohydrates, proteins and fats) to meet their nutritional needs. Being on PN for a long time requires special intravenous lines, and increases the risk of blood stream infections and can make the liver sick.
Feeding babies who have these CGD is often very difficult, as the intestine needs to adapt. It needs to make appropriately formed stool to eliminate wastes, but not lose too much water or too many electrolytes. There is often a lot of starting and stopping of feeds. Human milk (HM) is considered the ideal source of nutrition for all infants.
