Summary

Research question: Does feeding hindmilk improve weight gain in very preterm infants with poor growth velocity?

Hypothesis: In very preterm infants (born less than 32 weeks gestation) with poor postnatal growth velocity (\<15 g/kg/day), feeding hindmilk would improve average weight gain by at least 4 g/kg per day.

Study design: This will be a prospective cohort study in very preterm infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Foothills Medical Centre
