  • Title: Additional Protein Fortification Is Necessary in Extremely Low-Birth-Weight Infants Fed Human Milk.
    Author: Picaud JC, Houeto N, Buffin R, Loys CM, Godbert I, Haÿs S.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 2016 Jul; 63(1):103-5. PubMed ID: 26859094.
    Abstract:
    In the present study, approximately one in three (49/152, 32.2%) extremely low-birth-weight infants were demonstrated to require additional protein intake to supplement the standard fortification to achieve satisfactory weight gain. This additional protein fortification also resulted in a rapid increase in length-for-age (P < 0.001) and head circumference-for-age (P = 0.02) z scores.
