The variable macronutrient content of human milk may contribute to growth deficits among preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In a longitudinal study 37 < 32 weeks gestation, we aimed (1) determine between-infant variation intake from and (2) examine associations with outcomes. We analyzed 1626 samples (median, 43 samples/infant) mid infrared spectroscopy. Outcomes at term equivalent age were weight, length, head circumference, fat mass, fat-free mass. Median...

Liquid human milk fortifiers are used commonly in neonatal intensive care. Use of an acidified HMF (A-HMF) is associated with transient metabolic acidosis, but whether growth outcomes differ between infants fed A-HMF vs nonacidified (NA-HMF) remains unknown.Retrospective cohort study 255 born at <33 weeks' gestation and ≤1500 g who were receiving ≥75% fortified on day life 14, a level III care unit (NICU) from May 2015 to December 2018.
