Human milk fortifier is used in the hospital but I don't think it is available for purchase even w/ a rx. Neonatologists seem to diffier a little on how long these little guys need to be fortified. However, it is important for bone mineralization and growth. Human milk wasn't designed for such premature infants; only the placenta was.
