Summary
This study looked at whether adding a cream supplement made from human milk to the diet of extremely premature infants (weighing 500-1250 grams) could shorten their hospital stay. 210 babies were randomly assigned to receive either standard human milk or human milk with extra cream. Researchers also checked for lung problems (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) and tracked growth and development up to 18-24 months of age. The goal was to see if this simple addition could improve outcomes for these fragile newborns.
