Upon hospital discharge it is not unusual for mothers of preterm infants to continue to meet all or most of their infants' nutritional needs through bottle feedings of expressed breast milk (EBM) because of infants' physiological immaturity and maternal concerns with an inadequacy of milk supply. Although for some mothers the challenge of transitioning the infant to feeding at the breast may be beyond their ability and resources, for others it appears to be based on a conscious choice. Mothers are often unaware of the advantages of breastfeeding at the breast. The purpose of this article is to examine some of the factors that may contribute to the inability and resistance of mothers to transition their preterm infants, and to report on the potential short and long-term advantages associated with feeding at the breast as opposed to feeding bottles of EBM.
在出院时，由于早产儿生理上不成熟以及母亲担心母乳供应不足，早产婴儿的母亲通过奶瓶喂养挤出的母乳（EBM）来继续满足婴儿全部或大部分营养需求的情况并不少见。尽管对一些母亲来说，让婴儿过渡到亲喂的挑战可能超出了她们的能力和资源范围，但对另一些母亲来说，这似乎是基于一种有意识的选择。母亲们往往没有意识到亲喂的好处。本文旨在探讨一些可能导致母亲无法或抗拒让其早产儿过渡到亲喂的因素，并报告与亲喂而非奶瓶喂养EBM相关的潜在短期和长期益处。
