Paula Meier has research on increasing of fat content within a feed for mothers of sick and premature babies. She has the moms do their own creamatacrits!
Paula's methods (if I remember correctly) involves having the mom pump off milk until she gets to the milk that is a certain fat level, then switch to a different collection bottle or put the baby on at that point for a higher-calorie milk. If you ever have a chance to hear Paula, you will be spell-bound! She is doing on-going research on the feeding of preemies and getting more fat for the swallow!

P.S. I was so impressed that I insisted that our Alaska Breastfeeding Coalition have Paula speak (along with the wonderful Linda Smith) at our upcoming conference in April! Paula will be presenting her newly completed research. I nominate Paula for a award for contributing valuable information for our profession!
