An observational and prospective study involving about 30 healthy lactating mothers whose preterm infant(s) is/are hospitalized at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit after childbirth and who can provide enough maternal milk (3mL) to be analyzed from 4th day of admission until 15th day of hospitalization or until discharge. Considering the lack of evidence related to breast milk nutritional composition from Brazilian lactating mothers of preterm infants; and also the utilization of human milk analyzer as a tool to optimize nutritional therapy and reach proper growth and development of preterm babies, this study aim to evaluate the nutritional composition of human milk from lactating mothers of preterm infant during the hospitalization, the infant grow and also the applicability of mid infrared (MIR) human milk analyzer (HMA) as a methodology.
