"Bone mineralization is much better [in premies receiving human milk fortifier]for the first 2 years.
Thereafter exclusively breastfed infants bone mineralization catches up - but the
children are still shorter."
Do we have any research on how the children in each group fare using any other measures - overall health in infancy childhood, or adulthood; IQ; vision; obesity; learning disabilities; longevity; and so on?
