Dear Friends:
    Isn't there an international debate about growth of  premature infants? 
Should they grow at the rate they would grow if nourished by  a placenta, or 
should they grow at the rate a term baby does once it is  born? 
    There is another study (maybe even by Schanler?)  that showed the slower 
rate of growth in preterms fed fortified human milk was  offset by the better 
general health and decreased infections.
    So why is growing slower not good? What is the norm  of 'correct' growth 
in these VLBW babies?
    This study is so counterintuitive.
    warmly,
