The rationale used for human milk fortifiers, in a meta-analysis I recently
read, was that babies grow faster with them.

Can you tell me why growing faster is desirable?

Do we know for certain that there is a benefit to growing faster than what
they would on human milk alone?

This may be a silly question, but I really don't know and wonder about it.

TIA
