Nutrition plan to help preterm babies grow and develop
This study tests whether an individualized nutrition plan based on weekly measurements can help preterm infants grow better and improve brain development compared to standard feeding. It is for babies born very early (32 weeks or less) who receive human milk.

This study tests whether adding extra nutrients (fortification) to human milk helps very low birth weight or preterm babies grow better in the NICU.
This study tests whether adding extra nutrition (fortifying) to donated breast milk helps very premature infants grow better and safely. You might be offered a fortified donor milk feeding plan if your baby meets the timing and medical criteria.
This study tests whether a special human milk diet helps very preterm babies grow better. It compares two types of human milk fortifiers to see which one leads to healthier growth.
This study tests a special nutrient additive that goes into breast milk to help premature babies grow stronger. If your baby is very premature and fed human milk, this fortifier may help them get the extra calories and nutrients they need.
