The fortification method relying on assumed human milk composition overestimates the actual energy and macronutrient intakes in very preterm infants

Abstract Background To achieve recommended nutrient intakes in preterm infants, the target fortification method of human milk (HM) was proposed as an alternative to standard fortification method. We aimed to compare assumed energy and macronutrient intakes based on standard fortified HM with actual...
