Background: Breast milk feeding (BMF) improved neurodevelopment in children born very preterm (VPT, <32 weeks of gestation), but knowledge about its effect on other mental health outcomes remains limited.
Objective: To estimate the association of BMF practices with behavioral and emotional problems at preschool age in children born VPT.
Methods: We studied 263 children born VPT during 2011-12 and enrolled in the Portuguese EPICE cohort.
