Studies have shown that premature infants who are fed fortified breast milk have increased weight gain, length and head circumference, as well as improved bone mineralization. Premature infants who receive breast milk without fortification are at risk for extra-uterine growth retardation with lower growth rates and compromised neurodevelopmental outcomes.
