The number of infants born preterm including extremely premature babies is rising worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, which challenge neonatologists and milk banks for the provision of the most adequate nutrition for successful infant’s growth and development. The benefits of mother’s own milk (MOM) have been extensively recognized, but the use of donor milk (DM) is a commonly routine practice in preterm neonates admitted to the NICU. Pasteurized mature milk from milk banks is not the same composition than the mother’s colostrum and premature milk, the characteristics of which protect the infant from the risk for necrotizing enterocolitis, late-onset sepsis, and other comorbidities associated with prematurity. The development of a personalized nutrition unit (PNU) allows to obtain DM from mothers who have their infants admitted to the NICU and produce an excess of milk, a practice that matches MOM by gestational age and the stage of lactation, ensuring an adequate composition of DM to target the nutritional requirements of premature infants. Conclusion : This narrative review presents salient data of our current knowledge and concerns regarding milk feeding of preterm infants in the NICU, with special emphasis on personalized DM as a result of establishing a PNU. What is Known: • Donor milk bank is mature or pooled milk from lactating mothers at different stages of lactation. • Milk composition varies by gestational age and stage of lactation. What is New: • Donor milk from mothers delivered prematurely have the most adequate composition for preterm infant feeding. • Personalized nutrition for premature infants with preterm donor milk is feasible.
