Detailed Summary
This study will be comparing the postnatal growth of moderate to late preterm infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) born between gestational ages of 30 weeks 0 days to 35 weeks and 6 days who are receiving enteral feeds of mother's own breast milk using the NICU's standard nutritional fortification protocol versus a targeted nutritional fortification protocol.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Mother's breast milk will be fortified in modular fashion based on the level of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and fat) found from analysis using the Miris Human Milk Analyser. For protein supplementation, Amino Acid powder will be utilized as a modular component. For carbohydrate supplementation, PolyCal will be utilized. Mother's breast milk will be fortified in modular fashion. For protein supplementation, Amino Acid powder will be utilized as a modular component. For carbohydrate supplementation, PolyCal will be utilized. For lipid supplementation, safflower oil will be utilized. We will set our goal energy level between 110 - 135 kcal/kg/day, protein level between 3.5 - 4.5 g/kg/day, lipid level between 4.8 - 6.6 g/kg/day, and carbohydrate level between 11.6 - 13.2 g/kg/day. We will regard daily fluid volume to be between 150 to 180 mL/kg/day.
Mother's breast milk will be fortified using Enfamil Liquid Human Milk Fortifier as per standard feeding protocol defined by LLUCH NICU manual.
