What the experts said
McMaster University team performed a retrospective review of infants born between 2014 and 2022 with uncomplicated gastroschisis examining feeding outcomes.
Infants with exclusive breast milk intake and those with supplemental or exclusive formula intake had similar outcomes in uncomplicated gastroschisis.
No significant differences were found between exclusive breast milk and formula groups in time to reach full enteral feeds in infants with uncomplicated gastroschisis.
No significant differences were found between exclusive breast milk and formula groups in duration of parenteral nutrition in infants with uncomplicated gastroschisis.
No significant differences were found between exclusive breast milk and formula groups in rates of necrotizing enterocolitis in infants with uncomplicated gastroschisis.
No significant differences were found between exclusive breast milk and formula groups in length of hospital stay in infants with uncomplicated gastroschisis.
Formula intake versus exclusive breast milk intake does not appear to affect outcomes in uncomplicated gastroschisis.
