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.

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.
