Additional Insights Into the Use of Preterm Formula Among Neonates

To the Editor We read with great interest the study by Chinnappan et al on the fortification of breast milk with preterm formula powder vs human milk fortifier in preterm infants. This trial addressed the pertinent clinical dilemma regarding optimal fortifier composition for preterm infants, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The authors reported comparable weight gain and fewer episodes of feed intolerance in preterm infants who received preterm formula powder compared with those who received human milk fortifier. We would like to highlight a few issues and request clarification.
