A recently published study of newborns with less than 30 weeks of gestation and with birth weight <1250 g who were followed up for 7 years revealed that preterm infants predominantly breastfed during the neonatal period showed higher scores in tests for the evaluation of neuromotor development than infants receiving milk formulas (23). Another study of very low birth weight preterm infants also observed better cognitive and motor development in children fed maternal milk than in those receiving formulas (24).
