Is Mother's Own Milk Lactoferrin Intake Associated with Reduced Neonatal Sepsis, Necrotizing Enterocolitis, and Death?

This study examines whether lactoferrin intake from mother's own milk during the first 10 days of life reduces the risk of late-onset sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, or death in low birth weight newborns during the first 8 weeks. The research investigates lactoferrin's protective anti-infective and immunomodulatory properties in vulnerable neonatal populations.
