Article Abstract
Maternal milk contains its own diverse microbiome, which has been hypothesized to colonize the infant gut during breastfeeding; however, the dynamics of this process are not well understood, particularly among very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants. A recent study published in by Shama identifies novel dose-dependent relationships between maternal milk microbiota and infant gut microbiota in a cohort of VLBW infants and further explores the potential impact of infant feeding practices and antibiotic use on these microbial colonization dynamics.

Objective: To describe breastfeeding behaviors and determinants in the 1-month postdelivery period among women in treatment for opioid use disorder.
Study Design: Participants completed one questionnaire during pregnancy and one questionnaire at 1 month postpartum. Those who reported on the postpartum questionnaire that they had initiated breastfeeding were included in this analysis ( = 31).
Effect of the EPIQ Quality Improvement Method on Extrauterine Growth Restriction in Preterm Infants: A Before-After Observational Study.

A common problem among preterm newborns is extrauterine growth restriction, or EUGR. The Evidence-based Practice for Improving Quality (EPIQ) strategy aims to reduce EUGR and enhance growth outcomes in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The objective of this study is to assess whether implementing EPIQ-based quality improvement interventions is associated with reduced EUGR among preterm infants (< 34 weeks gestation) in a before-after observational study.

Background: Breast milk represents the optimal feeding strategy for newborns, supporting not only nutrition but also the establishment of a unique microbiota. The bacterial composition and diversity of this microbiota are shaped by various maternal and infant-related factors.
Objectives: This single-center prospective study aimed to examine the breast milk microbiota and determine the maternal and infant-related factors influencing its composition and diversity over the time.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) play crucial roles in establishing a healthy gut microbiota in breastfed infants. Many studies have been conducted using samples collected in different areas with varying lifestyles to examine the relationships between milk HMO, infant gut microbiota, and microbial HMO consumption in feces. The present study analyzed the tripartite relationship using samples obtained from Mongolian mothers and infants living in herder and urban environments, a population underrepresented in previous research.
