Hello again,
I had the numbers wrong; the babies who get fortifier here are those less
than 1500 g at birth, not 1200 g and it is given until the baby is 1800-2000
g depending on the hospital.  The fortifier consists of protein and
phosphorus and calcium, and some other components I don't have available.
According to my colleague Anna-Pia Häggkvist it is regarded almost as a
problem that Scandinavian mothers are so good at breastfeeding their
premature babies, because once the baby starts taking most feeds at the
breast it is hard to get the fortifier into them.  She suggests, if mother
has abundant supply, pumping and giving extra cream to the baby just for the
calories.
Sorry for the incorrect lower weight limit in my previous post on this.
