Introduction
Pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) is recommended when mother’s own milk is unavailable or contraindicated.1,2 Guidance prioritizes human milk for infants with very low birth weight (<1500 g) as it protects against complications, such as necrotizing enterocolitis.3 However, guidance on PDHM use among other newborns is lacking, particularly those in Level I neonatal care.4 Using 2018–2024 Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care (mPINC) data, we describe trends in DHM use among US hospitals by level of care and characteristics of hospitals that provided DHM.
