A Randomized Study of Enteral Donor Human Milk in Young Children Receiving Bone Marrow Transplantation

The investigators hypothesize that children receiving human milk will maintain a greater
diversity of helpful bacteria in their gut and have lower levels of inflammatory proteins in
the blood compared with children not receiving human milk.

The investigators hypothesize that the gut microbiota during bone marrow transplant could be
influenced by administration of enteral donor breast milk. This study will attempt to address
this hypothesis, by feeding donor breast milk to young children undergoing transplant, and
serially comparing the gut microbiota in children receiving human milk, with those receiving
conventional feeding.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Children less than 5 years old receiving transplant (autologous or allogeneic)

- Parents must give informed consent
