Although human milk may promote brain development, the association between type of feeding at discharge and neurodevelopmental outcomes remains uncertain.

Type of feeding at discharge was classified as exclusive human milk, formula feeding or mixed feeding. Neurodevelopment was assessed at 12 months' corrected age using the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (BSID\u2010III), evaluating cognitive, motor, language, socioemotional and adaptive behaviour domains. Time of full enteral feeding achievement and duration of parenteral nutrition were analyzed as continuous variables.
