Abstract

Introduction Mother´s own milk (MOM) is the gold standard for infants’ nutrition, particularly for preterm infants. Donor human milk (DHM) is recommended as the preferred alternative if MOM is not available. However, the effect of DHM compared to MOM on growth and body composition is not fully investigated so far. Body Composition, especially fat-free mass (FFM) is a valuable parameter to evaluate the nutritional status and a good prognostic marker for neonatal neurodevelopment. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of MOM compared to DHM on growth and body composition in preterm infants.
