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.
