Growth at 2 years corrected age in preterm infants discharged on two different breast milk enhancements: An observational study.

Objective: Breast milk (BM) enhancement is often used to meet the nutritional needs of preterm infants after hospital discharge to achieve optimal growth. This study compared growth at 18-28 months corrected age (CA) among very preterm (VP) and very low birth weight (VLBW) infants discharged from the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) on two BM enhancements.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review study of infants born between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017, with gestational age < 32 weeks or birthweight < 1500 g, discharged from the NICU on BM enhancements; fortification of BM with infant formula additives (BM-F) or unfortified BM supplemented with bottle feeds of infant formula (BM-S).

Comparison of Types of Breast Milk Fortification at Discharge from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Breast Milk Feeding Rates and Growth at 4 Months Corrected Age.

Effects of breast milk (BM) enhancement on long-term BM feeding in preterm infants discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) have not been examined previously. This study compares any BM feeding rates at 4 months corrected age (CA) in preterm infants discharged from the NICU on BM enhancement by fortification of expressed BM with infant formula additives (BM-F) versus BM supplemented with infant formula feeds (BM-S). We compared infants born between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2017, with gestational age <32 weeks or birth weight <1500 g, discharged home on BM-F or BM-S from two NICUs and followed at 4 months CA.
