Interventions

In the adjustable fortification group, protein of 0.5 g/100 ml was initially added to the standard fortified HM to achieve a target of 3.5-4 g/kg/day protein. Further protein adjustments were made the
s protein metabolism, which was determined by blood urea nitrogen (BUN) weekly,Standard fortification was performed by adding a fixed amount of fortifier to mother&#039
