Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Randomization to post discharge or term formula between 0 and 6 months corrected age. Breast milk group as a control group.
All the formula and the breast milk with fortifier are prescribed in a volume of ± 175 ml/kg/day (160-190ml/kg/day).
The infants are seen at the outpatient clinic at 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months corrected age. Anthropometry is performed and motorneurodevelopment is tested by a physiotherapist. At 0, 3 and 6 months corrected age a fasting venous blood sample is taken and urine is collected. At 0 and 6 months corrected age the body composition is established with a DEXA scan. Parents keep weekly dairies and telephonic support is offered on a regular bases.

Samenvatting resultaten

Brief summary: Feeding nutrient-enriched formula without extra energy after term does not change quantity of growth, but does influence type of weight gain and body composition of preterm infants. Infants fed the nutrient-enriched formula had lower fat mass corrected for body size at six months corrected age than infants fed standard formula or human milk. There were no differences in growth or body size between infants fed postdischarge formula, standard formula, and human milk.
