Overview

Brief Summary

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.
