ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the role of donor human milk in the prevention of nosocomial infection in very low birth weight infants. MeETHODS A total of 105 hospitalized preterm infants with a very low birth weight were enrolled. They were classified into mother's own milk feeding group, donor human milk feeding group, and preterm formula feeding group, with 35 infants in each group. The three groups were compared in terms of incidence rates of nosocomial infection, necrotizing enterocolitis, and feeding intolerance, time to full enteral feeding, and early growth indices.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the preterm formula feeding group, the donor human milk feeding group and the mother's own milk feeding group had significantly lower incidence rates of nosocomial infection and necrotizing enterocolitis and shorter time to full enteral feeding (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in head circumference, body length, and weight growth velocity among the three groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Donor human milk can be used in case of a lack of mother's own milk and may help to reduce nosocomial infection.</p>
