Why is it important?
It has been a common practice to used partially hydrolyzed formula ( lactose-reduced formula) in many units for infants with NAS, to decrease the severity of their symptoms.
Perspectives
We were very motivated to study the non-evidence use of PPH formulas in infants with NAS. The change of practice in our unit allowed us the chance to do this study. In spite of being a retrospective study, we made sure to tighten our methodology to control any confounding variables. The results were interesting, however, the explanations that we suggested could explain it all.
