Summary

Neonatal nutrition has to face a contradictory and conflicting nutritional regimen like a high percentage of amino acids from the first day of life in order to achieve normal neurodevelopment versus metabolic complications (insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, increased visceral fat) that this type feeding, in conjunction with complexity of prematurity, is likely to cause. Current study aims to investigate is whether individualized fortification of breast milk protein, based on the mother's milk protein content and targeting the recommended daily protein requirements, is associated with better nutrition, growth, biochemical and endocrine markers associated with the nutrition of preterm low birth weight neonates, compared to the standard fortification of human milk.
