Evidence indicates that human milk (HM) is the best form of nutrition uniquely suited not only
to term but also to preterm infants conferring health benefits in both the short and long-term …

Achieving appropriate growth and nutrient accretion of preterm and low birth weight (LBW)
infants is often difficult during hospitalization because of metabolic and gastrointestinal …

Preterm birth continues to contribute disproportionately to neonatal morbidity and
subsequent physical and neurodevelopmental disabilities. Epidemiologic studies have …

OBJECTIVE: To determine if postnatal growth failure exerts an adverse effect on subsequent
growth and neurodevelopment. STUDY DESIGN: A secondary analysis of 1018 infants who …

Background: Previous data from this unit suggest that postnatal growth retardation (PGR) is
inevitable in preterm infants. However, the study was performed in a single level III neonatal …

Survival of small premature infants has markedly improved during the last few decades.
These infants are discharged from hospital care with body weight below the usual birth …

Objectives. Preterm infants are frequently discharged from the hospital growth retarded and
show reduced growth throughout childhood. In a large efficacy and safety trial, we tested the …

Background Epigenetic markings acquired in early life may have phenotypic consequences
later in development through their role in transcriptional regulation with relevance to the …

OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine whether mixing a
multinutrient fortifier to approximately one half of the human milk fed each day for a finite …

Postnatal growth failure of very‐low‐birthweight (VLBW) infants may result from a complex
interaction of genetic and environmental factors, including inadequate nutrition, morbidities …
