I disagree.... Human milk is perfect for babies. Preemie milk is
perfect for preemies! I personally ha d IUGR baby born at 3lb 9oz who
did fantastic without any supplementation. She never dropped below
birthweight. Before stating that th8is baby can't intake enough I
believe it should be given a chance. Babies are capable of more than
we often give them credit!
