How did EHMD evolve in Japan, and what are the most important things NICUs can learn from that experience? Join Katsumi Mizuno, MD, PhD and Melinda Elliott, MD, FAAP on Oct. 14 to discuss the Mizuno study and VLBW nutrition.

NICU Awareness Month ends, but the work doesn’t.
Prolacta continues advancing human milk science and improving outcomes for preterm infants year-round.

#NICUAwareness #NeonatalNutrition #HumanMilk
100% human milk-based fortifiers (no cow milk), 30+ clinical studies*, 125,000+ preterm infants supported**, FDA-regulated processing, and the only fortifier indicated for full-term infants with gastroschisis.
*Refs available upon request.
**Data on file.
About 1 in 2,400 U.S. births: term infants with gastroschisis face high needs post-surgery. Surgifort is the first and only fortifier indicated for use in full-term infants, using 100% human milk–based nutrition and no cow milk.

#NICUAwareness
#NICUAwarenessMonth starts today.
30+ studies*. 125,000+ preterm infants supported**. The evidence behind 100% human milk–based nutrition continues to grow, along with our commitment to improving outcomes.

September is NICU Awareness Month.
All month, Prolacta is sharing clinical evidence behind 100% human milk–based nutrition.
More than 1 in 10 infants are born premature annually in the U.S., improving their outcomes matters.
#NICUAwareness #NeonatalNutrition #HumanMilk
65% of mother’s milk is <20 Cal/oz, leaving many VLBW infants with a caloric gap.
Prolact CR is a human milk–based fortifier that adds calories and supports improved growth in EHMD (Hair 2014; Mizuno).

For NICU infants, there’s no margin for error in how human milk is handled. Donors are rigorously screened, milk is tested 20+ times, and processed in FDA-regulated facilities. Prolacta is the only provider with DNA-verified donor milk. hubs.li/Q04tbDG_0
Even small amounts of cow milk in preterm diets are tied to higher risk. Each 10% increase is linked to +11.8% NEC, +20.6% surgical NEC, +17.9% sepsis (Abrams 2014).
For <1250g infants, reducing exposure is backed by data. #EHMD
Prolacta supports premature infants with the only 100% human milk-based fortifiers available in the U.S. 30+ peer-reviewed studies. One mission: better outcomes for the world’s most fragile patients.

What is an Exclusive Human Milk Diet?
100% of protein, fat, and carbohydrate from human milk. Includes mother's own milk, donor milk, and human milk-based fortifiers.
Prolacta makes the only 100% human milk-based fortifiers (instead of cow milk) in the U.S.
#EHMD #HumanMilk
Prolacta Bioscience produces the only 100% human milk–based fortifiers in the U.S. These products are made entirely from donor breast milk, not cow’s milk.
125,000+ premature infants helped worldwide.*

Wrapping up #AWHONN2026.
Thank you to everyone who connected with us this week.
The nursing community continues to lead the way in neonatal care.
#NeonatalNursing #NICUNurse
Calling all neonatal nurses, neonatologists, and lactation consultants attending #GNPI!
Don't miss Prolacta's free lunch symposium, focusing on the early enteral fortification on the NICU. Friday, http://17.06.2026, 12:15 pm- 01:15 pm.
#NeonatalCare #EnteralNutrition
#AWHONN2026 starts tomorrow. Our team will be there June 6-10. Come talk human milk science and neonatal nutrition with us.
#NeonatalNursing #HumanMilk
The evidence keeps building: exclusive human milk diets are associated with lower rates of NEC and other complications in preterm infants.
30+ peer-reviewed studies. Practice-changing data.

What is an Exclusive Human Milk Diet (EHMD)?
It is when 100% of protein, fat & carbs are from human milk, including human milk-based fortifiers. Prolacta makes the only 100% human milk-based fortifiers in the U.S.
#EHMD #HumanMilk #NICUNutrition
Not all critical nutrition in the NICU has consistent national standards, but that could be changing.
The bipartisan DONOR Milk Act aims to improve safety, oversight, and access to donor human milk, a critical resource for premature infants.

Counting down to #AWHONN2026!
June 6–10, the Prolacta team will be on-site. Come find us to talk human milk science and neonatal nutrition.
#NeonatalNursing #NICUNurse #HumanMilk
Happy World Human Milk Donation Day! We honor donor moms who make Prolacta’s mission possible. Since 1999, donated milk has helped nourish 125,000+ premature infants in U.S. NICUs. Every ounce is hope. Every donor is a hero.
