Summary

This study looks at whether giving very preterm babies (born 27-31 weeks) a higher volume of human milk helps them grow better and have healthier guts. About 486 babies will be randomly assigned to receive either 180 or 200 mL of milk per kilogram of body weight each day. Researchers will measure body composition and growth to find the best feeding approach.
