The protective effect of human milk feedings demonstrated in this study is consistent with findings from studies of full - term infants. (pediatrics.aappublications.org)

Our study also did not address the frequency of infection after human milk feeding was discontinued and whether infections occurred at an earlier age in formula - fed infants. (pediatrics.aappublications.org)
