Standardizing feeding strategies for preterm infants born greater than 1500 grams
Despite practice creep, no study has examined the use of standardized feeding protocols or pasteurized donor breast milk exclusively in infants >1500 g. A feeding protocol in this population may achieve full enteral feedings more consistently. With appropriate fortification, donor breast milk can support adequate growth in infants born >1500 g but warrants further study.
