It is widely known that breast milk is best for
babies. However, many people are not aware
that babies born prematurely need more cal-
ories and protein than breast milk alone can
provide.

This is why for preemies weighing less than 3
pounds, 5 ounces (1,500 grams), the American
Academy of Pediatrics recommends fortifying
mother’s milk or pasteurized donor milk, using
a product called human milk fortifier (HMF).

This product name can be a cause of confu-
sion for many because it suggests the fortifier
is made from human milk. Yet, this is not the
case; nearly all commercial HMFs are made
from cow milk.

“In the past, we’ve had to rely on bovine milk -
cow milk - protein to help preemies grow, and that’s not nat-
ural,” said Amy Hair, MD, assistant professor of pediatrics at
Baylor College of Medicine, neonatologist and director of the
neonatal nutrition program at Texas Children’s Hospital.
While some cow milk-based nutrition may be OK for full-term
infants, clinical studies show that the risk of several severe
complications, particularly necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC),
increases with every 10 percent of cow milk in a premature
infant’s diet, according to research published in “Breastfeeding
Medicine.” NEC is one of the leading causes of death among
preterm babies.
In fact, NEC affects 1 in 6 extremely premature infants who
receive cow milk-based nutrition in their diet, according to
research published in the “Journal of Pediatrics.”
“Provision of an exclusively human milk diet during the early
postnatal period, a diet devoid of cow milk protein, is associat-
ed with lower risks of death, NEC, NEC requiring surgery and
sepsis in extremely preterm infants,” said Steven A. Abrams,
MD, director of the Dell Pediatric Research Institute and chair
of pediatrics at the Dell Medical School at the University of
Texas at Austin.
An exclusive human milk diet gives preemies the best chance to
grow strong and healthy. Parents should be encouraged to talk
with their baby’s care team about fortification and the benefits
of a 100 percent human milk-based fortifier. Learn more at

That is why neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) across the
country are instead turning to a fortifier from Prolacta Biosci-
ence that is made with 100 percent human donor milk, instead
of cow milk. Using a fortifier in the NICU made from human
milk is the only way to ensure that extremely premature infants
receive an exclusive human milk diet.
