The news about a new human milk fortifier made from mom's own milk is
wonderful, however, I would hope if it ever gets to the U.S., the name
is changed, since "Boost" is a nutritional supplement made by a ABM
company.



 The mother had an abundance of breastmilk, so 
they were able to fortify her own breastmilk with measured amounts of 
protein and minerals made from her own breastmilk. The process to
produce 
this concentrate is involved, but the idea is to get it to the stage
where 
it will become standard for NICUs, and that looks like a distinct
possibility.
They are calling the human-milk-based human milk fortifier, Boost.
