Authors

Abstract
Background: An estimated 15 million babies are born pre term every year. Approximately 1 million children die each year due to complications of preterm birth. Premature infants, especially Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) infants (<1500 g), are a group at high risk of infectious diseases in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). Conclusions: Oral swabbing of colostrum as the standard of care for infants <32 weeks gestation in the NICU as a cost-efficient, safe, and effective method of infection prevention for premature infants unable to feed orally.
