No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators will compare weight gain based on fat accretion and change in body composition in preterm infants receiving different amounts of enteral protein.

Conditions

  • Premature; Infant, Light-for-dates

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Protein supplementation

Standard fortification of human milk may not have enough protein for optimal growth of premature infants. The investigators will add extra protein to this group to increase the protein consumed.
