Good positioning and latching is important for building and maintaining your milk supply. When your baby latches deeply onto your breast, your baby is able to remove milk effectively. When your breasts are well-drained, your body gets the message to make more milk. If you are concerned about how much milk you are making, improving positioning and latching is an important first step.

Science Update: Preterm infants fed donor milk had fewer intestinal complications than formula-fed infants Compared to formula fed infants, extremely preterm infants fed donated human milk had half the rate of necrotizing enterocolitis, a life threatening condition of the intestines. There were no differences in neurological development between those fed donor milk and those fed formula.
