It has been inquired into the possibility of the resumption of breast feeding in low birth weight babies, in the 101 survivors of the 128 infants weighing less than 2000 g at birth, who were born at St. Andrea Hospital in Vercelli between 1974-82. 86% of the mothers accepted to attempt breast feeding after the separation period for intensive care and the attempt the successful in 85% of the cases (73 infants). The resumption was successful with more than 90% of the infants weighting more than 1250 g at birth and 68.6% of these infants were exclusively breast-fed. 57% of those infants weighting less than 1250 g at birth resumed breast feeding. No infant developed an infectious disease nor necrotizing enterocolitis. Almost all of the mothers succeeded in maintaining breast feeding for a mean period of 5 months and all of them considered the experience extremely positive. The study demonstrated that it is possible to resume breast feeding in low birth weight babies with suitable encouragement and care on the part of the family, the doctors and the nurses.
对出生体重低的婴儿恢复母乳喂养的可能性进行了调查。在1974年至1982年期间于韦尔切利的圣安德烈亚医院出生的128名出生体重低于2000克的婴儿中，有101名存活。在重症监护的隔离期过后，86%的母亲同意尝试母乳喂养，且85%的尝试取得了成功（73名婴儿）。出生体重超过1250克的婴儿中，超过90%恢复母乳喂养成功，其中68.6%的婴儿完全母乳喂养。出生体重低于1250克的婴儿中，57%恢复了母乳喂养。没有婴儿患上传染病或坏死性小肠结肠炎。几乎所有母亲都成功维持母乳喂养平均5个月，她们都认为这段经历非常积极。该研究表明，在家庭、医生和护士给予适当鼓励和照料的情况下，出生体重低的婴儿有可能恢复母乳喂养。
