The problem
Intervention: Provision of human milk or formula milk during early infancy to late preterm children
Who it was tested with: Late preterm children aged 8 to 12 years attending school.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"A trained psychologist conducted assessments of cognitive development using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III (WISC-III). Additionally, the family pediatrician gathered neonatal and current growth data, while parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist 6-18 (CBCL)" and "A significant impact of early nutrition on children's cognitive development was observed, with those fed human or formula milk scoring higher than those in the mixed milk group." The study compared cognitive outcomes across different early feeding patterns in late preterm children assessed at school age.
Pilot study design with unclear sample size; no comparison group of term-born children; cross-sectional design cannot establish causality; retrospective collection of neonatal data; parental perception of behavioral difficulties rather than objective behavioral measures used as outcome predictor.
