Growth at 2 years corrected age in preterm infants discharged on two different breast milk enhancements: An observational study
This retrospective study suggests that VLBW/VP infants discharged on BM-F received BM longer, had lower growth parameter and were less likely to be overweight/obese at 18-28 months CA. Further studies are needed to evaluate the role of postdischarge nutrition on preterm born children's growth, metabolic disease, and neurodevelopmental outcomes.
