Oral Immune Therapy - Every Drop Counts [English] Permalink Public
Oral immune therapy is what we call it when we give your baby small amounts of your breast milk into their mouth. You might hear us also refer to this as O.I.T. (say oh-eye-tee). We think O.I.T. has some benefits and gives immunity to your premature or sick baby before they are able to feed by mouth. (English) Colour
