I think with preterms in a NICU setting, additional care on hygienic milk handling does make sense, I wouldn't be very worried in a "normal" home setting.

Hmm. What should we consider 'contamination' in #humanmilk? Does it depend on the context (eg. NICU in this study)? Some of these microbes are commonly found in human milk and ingested by breastfeeding infants. @Williams_JanetE @mbrockwa #microbiome htt
