Feeding from own mother's milk is not always an option for preterm infants, and choosing
between alternative means of feeding should be made in light of their effect on infants' …

Background Mechanisms responsible for associations between intake of mother's milk in
very-low-birth-weight (VLBW,< 1500 g) infants and later neurodevelopment are poorly …

Infants born at very low birth weight (< 1500 g) are vulnerable to nutritional deficits during
their first postnatal month, which are associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes …

Introduction: Human milk (HM) is the ideal enteral feeding for nearly all infants and offers
unique benefits to the very low birthweight (VLBW) infant population. It is a challenge to …

The aim of this study was to compare whole body composition, generated by air
displacement plethysmography (ADP) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and to …

Background: Very low birth weight (VLBW;< 1500 g) infants have increased adiposity and
metabolic disease risk in adulthood. Limited evidence suggests low-quality childhood diets …

Background: A donor milk bank provides an alternative source of human milk for mothers
who cannot breastfeed or provide their own milk. Although wet-nursing is a common …

Preterm infants are at-risk for extrauterine growth restriction and downward percentile-
crossing between birth and discharge. Increased energy and protein intake through …

Objective: Uncertainty exists regarding optimal supplemental diet for very preterm infants if
the motherLs own milk (MM) is insufficient. We evaluated feasibility for a randomised …

Objective Processing speed is suboptimal among preterm‐born children which is of concern
as it is a foundational skill supporting higher‐level cognitive functions. The study objective …
