Study Summary
In preterm infants fed human milk, milk needs to be fortified to meet nutrient recommendations. Fortification can be 1) standard, 2) individualized (adjusted based on daily human milk nutrient analysis and milk volume), or 3) optimized (adjusted based on growth rate and serum analyses). The first specific aim will determine whether individualized and optimized nutrition during hospitalization results in improved growth in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in extremely low gestational age (GA) neonates (ELGANs, \<29 weeks) and in small for GA (SGA, birth weight \<10th percentile for GA) preterm infants compared with optimized nutrition. The second specific aim will determine whether individualized and optimized nutrition in the NICU improves neurodevelopmental outcomes (acquisition of development milestones) and reduces the risk of disproportionate growth (i.e., excess fat) in the NICU and findings suggestive of metabolic syndrome in the first 3 years of life.
