Early Liquid Protein Supplementation of Human Milk in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
We hypothesize that premature infants who receive their mothers' expressed breast milk
supplemented with liquid protein early in their hospitalization will have a growth velocity
in the first 28 days of life that is 20% greater than the growth velocity of premature
infants that do not receive protein fortification.
