I agree with Rachel's and Maureen's 
misgivings.  Furthermore, a little google around 
suggests that this product, made by Nestle, is 
not even intended for babies.  See 
http://www.nestlehealthscience.us/products/beneprotein® 
I also looked for Beneprotein for Babies, and 
Beneprotein Human Milk Fortifier, and got 
nothing.   This would be of serious concern, not 
to mention a Code violation if it doesn't 
specifically give this warning on the packaging....

If the baby is well enough to receive EBM and 
extra protein, why not discuss with the 
neonatologist the possibility of increasing 
protein intake by feeding _more_ EBM..... eg 
instead of 150ml/kg/day then up this amount, 
while monitoring the baby's condition, to 
180ml/kg/day, and within a few more days to 
210ml/kg/day as they do, with good outcomes, in 
hospitals in developing countries where these 
special potions and supplements are unavailable and unknown?
