In the United Kingdom, approximately one in every thirteen babies is born prematurely, according to statistics from the Office for National Statistics.
Studies have shown that premature infants fed with breastmilk, whether from their own mothers or donated sources, have lower rates of infections, necrotising enterocolitis, and other serious health issues. By providing essential nutrients, antibodies, and protective factors, donated breastmilk not only supports the growth and development of premature babies but also helps safeguard their delicate immune systems, ultimately saving lives and fostering better outcomes in NICU settings.
