Safety of cow's milk-derived fortifiers used with an all-human milk base diet in very low birthweight preterm infants

from Neonatology Today

Safety of cow's milk-derived fortifiers used with an all-human milk base diet in very low birthweight preterm infants Neonatology Today Very low birthweight preterm infants fed mothers' own milk need nutritional supplementation, traditionally achieved with cow's milk derived fortifier CMDF and preterm formula if MOM is insufficient. CM products have been associated with diverse major morbidities. The current recommendation is to preferentially replace PTF with donor milk to produce a 100 percent human milk base diet, usually fortified with CMDF. The objective of this study was to identify whether CMDF, even when fed with a 100 percent HM base diet, is related to an increased risk of major morbidities. READ MORE
