Summary
This study looked at whether giving very small premature babies (under 1000 grams at birth) a diet with extra protein helps them grow better and build more muscle. The babies received only human milk with added protein based on individual needs. The goal was to see if this approach improves growth and body composition compared to standard protein levels.
