First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study looked at whether adding human milk cream to breast milk or donor milk could help very low birth weight preterm infants (weighing 750-1250 grams) get enough calories to grow better. Researchers measured the calorie content of the milk and tracked the babies' weight, length, and head growth. The goal was to see if this simple addition could improve nutrition without using artificial supplements.
