Donor Human Milk Use in Populations Other than the Preterm Infant: A Systematic Scoping Review.

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for an infant's first 6 months of life. If unable to breastfeed, expressed breast milk, including donor human milk (DHM), is recommended for optimal nutrition. Benefits of DHM in preterm infants have been established by extensive research. However, less is known about DHM use in other populations. Objective: To conduct a scoping review of the literature regarding DHM use in populations other than preterm infants. Materials and Methods: PubMed and Clinicaltrials.gov were used to search for articles and clinical trials published between January 1, 2000 and February 29, 2020. In total, 182 articles and reports were identified and screened by 2 independent reviewers. Results: Twenty-six articles met inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Studies were mostly observational in design and included infants born >35 weeks gestational age with health risks (9/26) and healthy infants (14/26). Most studies in infants with health risks (7/9) investigated clinical outcomes, with small, observational studies suggesting potential improvements in feeding tolerance and gastrointestinal health. Regarding healthy infants, no studies addressed growth, only one study measured clinical outcomes, and findings related to breastfeeding outcomes were conflicting. Over half of the studies reviewed (15/26) were not designed to establish a potential relationship between DHM use and relevant health-related outcomes. Conclusion: The current evidence of DHM use in populations other than preterm infants is limited by lack of direct health measures and infrequent use of randomized trials. More research is warranted to investigate clinical, growth, and breastfeeding outcomes.
