Growth, Body Composition
Effect of Target Fortified Human Milk on the Growth Quality of Very Preterm Infants (TargetFort)
It is reported that the standard method for fortification of human milk (HM) overestimates the energy and protein densities of HM (Macedo MHNP 2018), thus originating infant undernutrition (Macedo AJP 2018).
