Optimal Growth and Lower Fat Mass in Preterm Infants Fed a Protein‐enriched Postdischarge Formula

Abstract

Feeding nutrient-enriched formula without extra energy after term does not change quantity of growth but does influence type of weight gain and body composition of preterm infants. Infants fed the nutrient-enriched formula had lower FM corrected for body size at 6 months corrected age than infants fed standard formula or human milk.
