Breastfeeding babies with special needs

As I do not have any personal experience with this topic, I am just listing some links below.

Making it Meaningful: A Basic Guide to Breastfeeding Prematures. By Cheryle G. Levitt (from Parents Place).
Remember: breastmilk is especially important for preemies--much more so than full-term babies. Many hospitals provide breastmilk for preemies from their milk bank if the mother is not willing to provide it herself. But milk for the milk bank is not as good as milk from mommy (even when the infant has to be tube-fed), because it has to be pasteurized (out of fear of transmitting infectious diseases), which kills the valuable antibodies that help keep the baby healthy.
See also my page on breastfeeding preemies.
