* Donor breast milk will be pasteurized prior to use. * Given orally or by nasogastric (NG) or nasojejunal (NJ) tube. * Feeding will be supervised and will be advanced as quickly as tolerated with a goal of providing 40-50% of nutritional needs from the donor milk. * It is recognized that the volume of enteral feeds will need to be adjusted per patient tolerance.
* A registered dietician will supervise milk provision, and additional calories will be provided by addition of the supplement Prolacta. To make 28 kcal/oz milk, 40 ml of Prolacta will be mixed with 60 ml human milk to make a total volume of 100 ml. * If a nursing mother enrolls on the study, maternal and not donor milk will be given in the maximum volume possible, with Prolacta supplementation if clinically indicated and recommended by the registered dietician.
