26 Jun 2024 --- An independent study, published in Nutrients, has found that human milk-based nutritional fortifiers reduce mortality rates by 50% in preterm infants. The study compared human milk-based fortifiers (HMBFs) with cow milk-based fortifiers (CMBFs) among premature infants who were fed a human milk diet of their mother’s milk or donor human milk. The analysis evaluated short-term outcomes from four clinical studies involving 681 preterm infants born before 28 weeks of gestation and weighing less than 1,500 g.
