Early gut microbiome composition of very preterm infants randomised to receive human milk volumes of 60 ml/kg/day or more within the first 36 hours after birth
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04337710 IMPACT: In very preterm infants, early and increased exposure to human milk and its bioactive components did not alter gut microbiome richness or diversity by postnatal day 14. Randomisation strengthens microbiome analyses by limiting confounding in human milk feeding trials.
