The video documents one family’s journey through prematurity, and their first-­‐hand experience with an exclusive human milk diet (EHMD) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

The testimonial video follows Delvin and Brandi Peeks’ emotional NICU journey after the birth of their daughter, Leah Michelle, who was born at 23 weeks, five days gestation, weighing 1 lb 8 oz (680g). Leah Michelle experienced intolerance to the cow milk-­‐based fortifier she initially received and subsequently developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), the most common and serious intestinal disease among premature infants and one of the leading causes of preemie mortality.
