The study aim was to determine the relationship between hospitalization costs and mother’s own milk (MOM) dose for very low birth weight (VLBW; < 1500 g) infants during the initial neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay. Additionally, because MOM intake during the NICU hospitalization is associated with a reduction in the risk of late-onset sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), we aimed to quantify the incremental cost of these potentially preventable complications of prematurity. The study included 430 VLBW infants enrolled in the Longitudinal Outcomes of Very Low Birthweight Infants Exposed to Mothers' Own Milk prospective cohort study between 2008 and 2012 at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL, USA. NICU hospitalization costs included hospital, feeding, and physician costs. The average marginal effect of MOM dose and prematurity-related complications known to be reduced by MOM intake on NICU hospitalization costs were estimated using generalized linear regression. The mean NICU hospitalization cost was $190,586 (standard deviation $119,235). The marginal cost of sepsis was $27,890 (95% confidence interval [CI] $2934–$52,646), of NEC was $46,103 (95% CI $16,829–$75,377), and of BPD was $41,976 (95% CI $24,660–59,292). The cumulative proportion of MOM during the NICU hospitalization was not significantly associated with cost. A reduction in the incidence of complications that are potentially preventable with MOM intake has significant cost implications. Hospitals should prioritize investments in initiatives to support MOM feedings in the NICU. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s41669-022-00324-8.
