Expressed breast milk (EBM) is commonly supplemented with commercially prepared
human milk fortifier to meet the additional nutritional needs of preterm infants. The optimal …

This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effects of early fortification (EF)
versus late fortification (LF) of breast milk (BM) on growth of preterm infants. Randomized …

Importance Fortification of expressed breast milk (EBM) using commercially available
human milk fortifiers (HMF) increases short-term weight and length in preterm very low-birth …

Background Human milk is recommended for all very low birth weight infants. Breastmilk is
highly variable in nutrient content, failing to meet the nutritional demands of this group …

Human milk is recommended for very low birth weight infants. Their nutritional needs are
high, and the fortification of human milk is a standard procedure to optimize growth …

Background Fortifying human milk contributes to the prevention of postnatal growth failure in
preterm infants. Because of the natural variability of human milk, targeted fortification of …

This systematic review assessed outcomes after using human milk–derived fortifier (HMF)
compared with bovine milk–derived fortifier (BMF) in preterm infants. Six randomized …

Objective To compare the effect of initiating human milk fortification at 2 different feeding
volumes on feeding intolerance and the time to reach full feeding volume. Study design Very …

Background Uncertainty exists about the optimal point at which multi‐component fortifier
should be added to human milk for promoting growth in preterm infants. The most common …

Aim To assess effects of early versus delayed introduction of human milk fortification in
preterm infants. Methods We searched Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials …
