Breast Milk Fortifier for Babies
Babies who are born early or have a low birth weight don’t have enough time to build enough proteins and vitamins that are required for overall health. As a result, many of the NICU babies are often weak. Breast milk fortifiers have been clinically proven in 20+ studies to reduce complications such as Sepsis, feed intolerance and shorten the length of stay in the hospital. Premature babies have special nutritional needs when compared to full-term babies, as they need more energy to grow.
In these cases, breast milk fortifiers for preemies help them grow at a rapid pace by providing adequate protein, minerals, and other nutrients. These additional nutrients if not given, may cause growth deficits which are difficult to compensate at later stages of life. Hence, doctors may advise you to add a fortifier to your breast milk for your premature infant’s health.
