Intranasal Breast Milk Therapy Studied on Ten Newborns in Budapest for Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury

A recent study investigated the safety of intranasal breast milk therapy for newborns with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Researchers at Semmelweis University in Budapest administered breast milk through the nasal passages of ten newborns between December 2024 and February 2025. The study, published in *Pediatric Research*, suggests this method could potentially lessen the impact of brain damage resulting from oxygen deprivation.

The research team employed a specialized technique to deliver the breast milk intranasally. The findings indicate that this approach may offer a safe and practical therapeutic option, potentially extending to long-term use in managed home settings. Further research is anticipated to explore the efficacy of this method in mitigating the consequences of brain damage in newborns.
