Babies in the NICU get formula. That is all you need to know. Breastmilk is better, but formula ain't far behind.
NICU at my hospital actually gives donor breastmilk sometimes to some of the premmies. There is a special freezer full of frozen donor milk that we have to document a certain way in our charting if a baby is on donor milk. Breast milk is the best......however I wish the breastfeeding nazis, aka lactation nurses, wouldn't make women feel so horrible if for whatever reason they don't choose to fully breastfeed by putting baby to breast.. Opting to just pump and bottle feed or giving formula isn't horrible options and for some mothers....is a better fit for them.

IIRC, lactation consultants suckle on the mothers Breast to get the milk going, then pass the nipple on to the child to commence feeding.
It's a thankless job for some.
