Summary

This study looks at whether giving very preterm infants targeted sodium supplements along with standard milk fortification improves their growth and body composition. About 150 babies born between 24 and 31 weeks will be enrolled from three hospitals. Researchers will measure muscle and fat using ultrasound and a body volume machine to see which approach works better.
