Brief Summary:
This study is a randomized controlled trial seeking to determine whether supplementing infants at risk for excessive neonatal weight loss with a small volume of human donor milk prophylactically in the first 1-3 days of life, before maternal mature milk production (before mom's milk "comes in") will decrease the incidence of formula use at 1 week and 1, 2, and 3 months of life and increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in this high-risk population.
We hypothesize that supplementation of term infants who have lost greater than or equal to 5% birth weight by 36 hours of age with a small volume of donor breast milk following feeds, until mature milk production, will result in decreased supplemental formula use at 1 week and increased exclusive as well as any breastfeeding at 1 week and 1, 2, and 3 months. This study's specific aims are to compare the effectiveness of encouraging in-hospital exclusive breastfeeding with offering early small-volume donor milk supplementation in a population of infants at risk for excessive neonatal weight loss with goals of 1) decreasing the incidence of formula supplementation at 1 week of life and 2) improving breastfeeding duration.
