Evidence indicates that human milk (HM) is the best form of nutrition uniquely suited not only
to term but also to preterm infants conferring health benefits in both the short and long-term …

Preterm birth survivors are at a higher risk of growth and developmental disabilities
compared to their term counterparts. Development of strategies to lower the complications of …

Background Current fetal-infant growth references have an obvious growth disjuncture
around 40 week gestation overlapping where the fetal and infant growth references are …

Objective To assess whether breastmilk feeding is associated with a reduced risk of
bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Secondary outcome measures analyzed were …

Objectives Fortification of breast milk is an accepted practice for feeding very low birth
weight infants, however, fixed dosage enhancement does not address variations in native …

Background & aims In preterm infants, natural variation of breast milk composition makes it
difficult to achieve recommended macronutrient intakes with standard fortification. Evidence …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: High supply of protein and energy has been introduced to very-low-
birth-weight infants to improve growth and cognitive development. The aim of this study was …

Preterm infants fed fortified human milk (HM) in standard (STD) fashion grow slower than
preterm formula fed infants. Recently, low protein intake has been proven to be the primary …

Background: Preterm infants fed fortified human milk (HM) grow more slowly than those fed
preterm formulas. These differences could be related to the variability in the macronutrient …

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate postnatal growth up to discharge in very low
birth weight infants after optimizing nutritional support based on recent nutritional …
