First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study looks at whether adding extra nutrients (fortification) to breast milk earlier—between days 4 and 7 of life—helps very preterm infants grow better compared to waiting until days 10 to 14. About 80 babies born at 29 to 33 weeks will take part. Researchers will measure body composition and gut bacteria to see if early fortification improves growth and health.
