Growth and Nutrient Intakes of Human Milk–Fed Preterm Infants Provided With Extra Energy and Nutrients After Hospital Discharge

Abstract

Results from this study suggest that adding a multinutrient fortifier to approximately one half of the milk provided to predominantly human milk-fed infants for 12 weeks after hospital discharge may be an effective strategy in addressing early discharge nutrient deficits and poor growth without unduly influencing human milk feeding when intensive lactation support is provided.
