Efficacy of Breast Milk in Healing of Skin Damage

For skin damage care of preterm newborns randomly assigned to the breast milk group, their own breast milk will be applied topically once every 60 minutes until complete healing. Skin damage in newborns will be evaluated by an independent nurse and specialist doctor for 60 minutes during the treatment, and the score will be given and recorded. A minimum decrease of 1 point in the skin condition assessment scale score will be considered to indicate 'improvement'. The decision that the skin integrity of the newborn is completely healed will be made by the neonatal doctor independent of the trial. Areas between 0-3 on the newborn skin condition assessment scale will be considered healed. Breastfeeding does not have any side effects in preterm newborns.
