| Résumé : | Human milk is universally considered to be the optimal source of nutrition for human infants. Furthermore, it is thought that helping to facilitate breast milk feeding is an essential aspect of human care (World Health Organization (WHO) 2011,Hanson et al 2016,Wilson et al 2018). Evidence indicates that this is particularly so for preterm neonates because of the association between breast milk feeding and increased host protection and enhanced developmental outcomes (WHO & Unicef 2003,Ericson et al 2018). It is estimated that one in every 13 infants born in the United Kingdom (UK) will be born prematurely (Bliss 2018). Moreover, evidence suggests that the incidence of preterm birth is rising (WHO 2018). This trend may be explained by the changing profile of the pregnant population and the increase in pregnant women with pre-existing medical complications evident in the most recent Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths and Morbidity report (Knight et al 2017). According toAuger et al (2011), increasing maternal medical complexity is associated with increased likelihood of iatrogenic preterm birth. |
