I am sorry, but you do have it wrong Marsha. The only thing her unit
tailor's is the fat content. They DO use commercial infant fortifiers as well. The
creamatocrit "machine" is a simple hematocrit centrifuge, which every hospital
used to have, and some still do. All it does is measure the relative
percentage of fat in a sample of milk. They do not measure protein or anything else.
In addition, from another prior post:

Isn't there an international debate about growth of premature infants?

This is a very old topic which we have discussed many times before. Everyone
is currently using the in utero growth standards because we don't have
anything better. There is also evidence that RAPID catch up growth is not good for
long term outcomes, especially in infants born SGA.
