This study is looking at how different feeding methods affect the gut (digestive system) and how quickly infants with certain intestinal problems can start eating normally. It compares two approaches: an "Exclusive Human Milk" diet, where infants receive human milk (from their mother or a donor), versus "Standard of Care," which might include formula if mother's milk isn't available. The study is for infants from birth up to 55 years old who have conditions like gastroschisis (intestines outside the body), omphalocele (intestines covered by a sac outside the body), or Hirschsprung disease (a nerve problem in the large intestine). The main goal is to see which feeding method helps infants reach full feeds faster. The study plans to enroll 116 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
