The best nutrition to a premature baby is always mother’s milk. So we can always breast feed the premature baby. The only problem with premature baby is sometimes they don’t have a very good sucking, swallowing reflex. So if the baby who is mature enough like 34 to 36 weeks and higher, we can directly start breast feeding and most of these babies do well and this remains the number one choice for premature baby but if the baby is less premature like less than 33 weeks, or for some other reason if the baby’s sucking reflex is not good, then the mother’s milk is the best milk. What we offer is we can always express the mother’s milk and we can give either through spoon feed or sometimes through bottle feed also. So they can get mother’s milk and that remains the best possible nutrition for these premature babies. Some of these premature babies, there will be requirement for proteins and some other nutrients is still higher. So what we do is we take out mothers milk and we add some extra portion and extra nutrition in the form of human milk fortifiers and then we can feed these babies with spoon or modular feeding so that still there is no need to give formula products to these babies and it is absolutely safe. There is no side effect of giving mother's milk and it is freely available, free of cost, at the right temperature and at the right time and it is always modulated as per the requirement of the baby’s. So for a premature baby, the number one choice is always mother’s own milk.
