Protein Enrichment of Donor Breast Milk and Impact on Growth in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Protein Enrichment of Donor Breast Milk and Impact on Growth in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Protein content is often inadequate in donor breast milk (DBM), resulting in poor growth. The use of protein-enriched target-pooled DBM (DBM+) has not been examined. We compared three cohorts of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, born ≤ 1500 g: DBM cohort receiving > 1-week target-pooled DBM (...
