Background: The role of donated breast milk and formula feeding in very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) remains unclear.
Objective: The objective for this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of breast milk and formula for feeding VLBWIs.
Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed databases was conducted on November 30, 2018, to identify related randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Pooled odds ratio (OR) and mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using either a fixed or random-effects model.
Results: Seven RCTs with a total of 876 infants were included. The formula showed more advantages in increasing infant weight (MD = -6.58, 95% CI: -11.19 to -1.98) and length (MD = -0.30, 95% CI: -0.41 to -0.20) than donated breast milk, but formula could also significantly increase the risks of necrotizing enterocolitis (OR = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.18 to 0.59) and length of hospital stay (MD = -3.78, 95% CI: -6.84 to -0.72) when compared with donated breast milk. No significant differences on the head circumference gain (MD = -0.16, 95% CI: -0.33 to 0.01), sepsis (OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 0.84 to 1.75), retinopathy of prematurity (OR = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.73 to 2.05) and mortality (OR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.47 to 1.52) were found.
Linking Evidence To Action: The donated breast milk shows more advantages in reducing the incidence of NEC and length of hospital stay, but also more disadvantages in increasing the weight and length of VLBWIs and ELBWIs when compared with preterm formula feeding. Currently, there is no solid evidence demonstrating a significant advantage of donated breast milk over formula in the feeding of VLBWIs. Larger-scale RCTs with rigorous designs are needed to elucidate the feeding plans of VLBWIs.
