Study Arms (1)
Donor Breastmilk
EXPERIMENTALDonated human milk is subjected to pasteurization prior to use. Milk consumption is to be overseen by a Registered Dietician. Oral or enteral milk feeding will begin at 180 ml/day and will be advanced as quickly as tolerated to a goal of 360 ml/day for 6 weeks. If symptoms and stool tests for norovirus do not improve after 6 weeks, milk administration may continue for an additional 6 weeks.
Interventions
Donor breastmilk will be obtained from the Mother's Milk Bank of New England.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Children with at least two stool samples taken at least 7 days apart that are positive for norovirus
- Child has an underlying disease or has received immunosuppressive medication or chemotherapy such that clearance of norovirus is expected to be impaired.
You may not qualify if:
- The presence of other pathogens causing diarrhea that have specific treatments does not preclude enrollment. However, specific treatment should be offered in addition to human milk.
