Narrative review of human milk fortifiers for preterm infants

Le résumé fourni par la source

The advancements in perinatal medicine and neonatal intensive care have enhanced the survival rates of extremely preterm infants. Nevertheless, the incidence of extrauterine growth restriction persists at a relatively high level. As the optimal enteral feeding source for preterm infants, human milk alone may be unable to fulfill the high nutritional requirements of very preterm infants. Consequently, the supplementation of human milk with nutritional fortifiers has become a widely recognized practice. At present, diverse types of human milk fortifiers are employed in different enteral feeding situations for preterm infants. This article provides a descriptive review of the current use of various fortifiers and also introduces novel or investigational fortifiers.
