| Popis: | To evaluate the growth of premature infants fed a postdischarge diet of human milk (HM) complemented with transitional formula (TF) as compared with those fed TF only. In this prospective cohort study, 51 infants’ diets and anthropometrics were collected at discharge and at 12–15 months corrected gestational age. Post discharge, infants in both groups exhibited similar growth velocities and changes in z-scores. The duration of infants’ HM consumption was not correlated with weight gain (r = −0.25, p = 0.26). The duration of complementary TF feeds also did not correlate with increased growth (r = −0.11, p = 0.44). Both groups achieved catch-up growth and displayed growth velocities that significantly exceeded the upper limit of the World Health Organization (WHO) weight growth standard (p |
