Adequately nourishing infants with mother’s own milk (MOM) fortified with human milk-based products

Since 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommended human milk for preterm infants, whether MOM or pasteurised donor human milk if MOM is unavailable. For those infants born weighing less than 1,500 g, the AAP recommends fortifying MOM or donor human milk with protein and minerals to ensure optimal nutrient intake.13 Our products help hospitals meet the nutritional needs of their medically fragile patients in the NICU.
