Early body composition outcomes of infants born very preterm and receiving high volume, human milk feedings (≥170 ml/kg/day) before postnatal day 14

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Several feeding strategies during the neonatal period aim to minimize postnatal weight loss, accelerate return to birthweight, and improve catch-up growth. Concerns exist, however, that rapid early growth in preterm infants could result in excessive fat mass accumulation [ 1 ].
