A question was posed about the routine fortification of all preterm
infant's mothers' milk. Hopefully the following references will help to
stop this practice!

fat and caloric content of human milk. Pediatrics 1980;66:626-628.

low-birth-weight infants fed human milk. J Pediatric Gastroent Nutr

milk fortification and developmental outcome in preterm infants. Am J

human milk for individualized fortification: Basis for improved

I do hope these help.
