Abstract
According to numerous national, international and WHO guidelines, breast milk feeding is recommended for all newborns, especially preterm infants irrespective of birthweight or gestational age. However, preterm and also term infants are at risk of acquiring Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in their first weeks of life through their mother's raw breast milk, because nearly all CMV-IgG-positive mothers (carriers) will reactivate the virus during lactation and excrete it into their breast milk [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [40].
