[Feeding of healthy premature infants with milk of their own mothers].

An experience of feeding healthy premature infants (< 1,800 g) on their mother's milk is communicated. Feeding starts at an early time (15 hours); achieving maximum volumes at the 12th day. Loss of weight is 10% less than the birth weight and recovery occurs at the 12th day. In this way, a postnatal speed growth of 26 g/day can be obtained; which is similar than that observed during the third of the pregnancy. 75% of the calories provided to more of the 66% of the infants attended by our Unity, is based on their own mother's milk at the time of discharge.
