Background: The incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and possibly also of sepsis is lower in preterm infants fed their own mother's milk (hereafter 'mother's milk') compared with formula-fed infants. It is unclear whether this is caused by the protective properties of breast milk or by the absence of cow's milk. Especially in early life, mother's milk is often unavailable to preterm infants, while minimal enteral nutrition is initiated immediately. Objectives: To determine whether there is an association between intake of mother's milk during the first days of life and the combined outcome of sepsis, NEC and death over a prolonged period. Methods: Retrospective study in infants with a birth weight
