Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of Alberta Family Integrated Care (FICare) and Standard Care on human milk (HM) feeding duration in preterm infants at 2 months old.
- Results showed that mothers in the FICare group were less likely to provide exclusive human milk (EHM) compared to those in Standard Care, while other influencing factors included maternal education and breastfeeding self-efficacy.
- The conclusion emphasized that Alberta FICare did not lead to increased exclusive HM feeding at two months postpartum, highlighting the need for personalized feeding support strategies.
Preterm infants are at increased risk for developmental delays. Family integrated care (FICare) is a novel care delivery model that integrates parents into their infant's care in the neonatal intensive care unit. Two follow-up studies are presented to identify effects of Alberta FICare™ on the development of preterm infants born between 32 and 34 weeks of gestation.
