  • Title: Safety and efficacy of human milk fortification for very-low-birthweight infants.
    Author: Hawthorne KM, Abrams SA.
    Journal: Nutr Rev; 2004 Dec; 62(12):482-5. PubMed ID: 15648823.
    Abstract:
    For full-term infants in the first 6 months of life, exclusive breastfeeding remains the nutritional standard for calcium intake. However, unsupplemented human milk does not meet the nutritional requirements for growth of the very-low-birthweight (<1500 g) infant. Methods for human milk fortification have been evaluated, and recent studies have demonstrated the safety of these fortifiers.
