Katie Bug, mother of a premature infant and YouTube blogger, shares an important message with her fellow preemie parents about a 100% human milk diet for fragile, premature infants on her Instagram.
"You’ve heard the saying “breast is best” when it comes to nourishing your infant. Unfortunately, breastfeeding can be particularly challenging for some preemie moms who don’t even get to hold their babies for the first several weeks of life. Today I’m teaming up with @prolacta_bioscience to share an important message with my fellow preemie parents about what a difference a 100% human milk diet -- including human milk fortifier (HMF) made from donor milk, instead of cow milk -- can make for preemies like my sweet Maverick.
I can only imagine how much shorter our NICU stay might have been had I known about Prolacta’s 100% human milk-based HMF. Parents have a choice in their baby’s nutrition in the NICU, so if you’re a preemie mom or you know someone who is expecting, please tag them so they can watch the amazing video I have linked in my bio. And, don’t forget to grab the tissues for your mascara that will soon be melting down your face! "
