21 May 2024 --- The newly presented study finds that term infants with gastroschisis who were exclusively fed human milk-based fortifiers achieved full enteral feeds — receiving full prescribed nutrition only through milk feeds — 30 days sooner and gained desirable weight faster than infants with the same condition who received cow milk-based fortifiers.Gastroschisis is a birth defect leading to the intestines and sometimes other organs protruding through a hole in the abdominal wall. The study’s results demonstrate the benefits of the Prolacta Exclusive Human Milk Diet (EHMD) for term infants recovering from gastroschisis repair surgery.
