Factors associated with the successful transition to MOM, defined as MOM being the sole enteral feeding at the time of the first cessation of intravenous (IV) fluids, were investigated by logistic regression. Time to commencement of a milk other than MOM was analyzed by Kaplan\u2013Meier survival curves.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 151 eligible babies (60% boys) were included, 93 (63%) of whom successfully transitioned from IV fluids onto MOM only. Alternative sources of milk, mostly formula, were used to transition from IV fluids onto enteral feeds more often in multiples and M\u0101ori, and was commenced earlier in M\u0101ori than other ethnicities (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.007) and in late-preterm compared with moderate-preterm babies (p=0.01). Receiving exclusively breastmilk at discharge was more likely for babies who successfully transitioned from IV fluids onto MOM only [OR (95% confidence intervals) 4.9 (2.3\u201310.6)] and who received only MOM in the first week after birth [4.8 (2.2\u201310.4)], both <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.0001.

There was no difference in the use of alternative sources of milk in babies who received parenteral nutrition or dextrose or between small-for-gestational-age and appropriate-for-gestational-age babies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Despite an intention to provide only MOM, significant numbers of moderate- and late-preterm babies received formula to transition from IV fluids, and this differed by ethnicity.
