Study Towards the Effects of Post discharge nutrition on growth and body composition of infants bor

Completed

• Registration Number: NL-OMON26207

Brief Summary

Publications: Amesz EA, Schaafsma A, Cranendonk A, Lafeber HN. Optimal growth and lower fat mass in preterm infants fed a protein-enriched postdischarge formula. JPGN 2010;50:200-207. <br><br> Brief summary: Feeding nutrient-enriched formula without extra energy after term does not change quantity of growth, but does influence type of weight gain and body composition of preterm infants. Infants fed the nutrient-enriched formula had lower fat mass corrected for body size at six months corrected age than infants fed standard formula or human milk. There were no differences in growth or body size between infants fed postdischarge formula, standard formula, and human milk.
