Moreover, the researchers have shown that donor milk in the U.K. provides very low levels of the omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid, respectively. These are essential for brain development and immune system function, and preterm infants receiving donor milk do not receive sufficient levels of these nutrients. There is therefore an urgent need to develop nutritional guidelines and resources for milk donors. Following a systematic review the researchers developed evidence-based nutritional information resources for donors, which would also be applicable more generally to lactating mothers. Those
