Abstract

Objective To study the dynamic changes in macronutrients and energy in human milk from mothers at early stage of premature infants, in order to explore the necessity of providing individualized nutrition support for premature infants. Methods A total of 140 human milk samples were collected from 70 women who delivered preterm infants from January to December 2017.Macronutrients and energy were tested using MIRJS human milk analyzer.The difference on the macronutrients and energy in different genders, maternal age, delivery mode, colostrum and transition milk group were analyzed and the changes were observed. Results 1) The protein level in colostrum from mother of premature was higher than that of transitional milk (P<0.01), while the fats, carbohydrates and energy were significantly lower in colostrum (P<0.05).2) The colostrum from mothers of premature infants with a gestational age of ≤30 weeks had significantly higher levels of protein than those of 30+1-33+6 weeks and ≥34 weeks group (P<0.05).And the energy level in colostrum of ≤ 30 weeks group were significantly lower than that of 30+1-33+6 weeks group (P<0.05), while the differences on fats and carbohydrates were not significant (P>0.05).3) The proteins, fats and energy levels in transition milk groups at different gestational age groups were not significantly different(P>0.05).While the carbohydrates significantly increased with the older of gestational age [(6.28±0.57), (6.61±0.43), (6.36±0.81) g/100 ml), P=0.04].4) No significant difference was found on the content of macronutrients and energy in groups with different maternal childbearing age, delivery modes, infants′ gender and birth weight.5) The protein levels in breast milk were continuously declining while the fats, carbohydrates and energy levels were continuously increasing after linear fit.The tuning days of protein, fats, carbohydrates and energy levels were in the eleventh, ninth and fourteenth day after birth. Conclusions The levels of macronutrients and energy in milk from mothers of premature infants vary significantly between colostrum and transitional milk.Micronutrient and energy levels are not correlated with mothers′ childbearing age, delivery mode, infants′ gender and birth weight.Moreover, the proteins and ratio of protein/calorie are low in early stage of premature, and the compositions vary from person to person.Therefore, the protein content and calorie density of breast milk should be targeted to strengthen, and further study is warranted to explore the timing and composition of premature infants′ human milk additives.
