Energy, protein, and mineral requirements in premature infants are high, hence increasing the risk of poor growth and development of metabolic bone disease. This double-blind study included 127 consecutive premature infants with gestational age below 32 weeks. Both sick and healthy infants participated. Average duration of ventilator treatment: 2 days, CPAP treatment: 10 days (range, 0-50d). Infants were randomized to 3 groups from 1 week old to 37 weeks of gestational age and fed the following: a) human milk (their own mother's milk or banked milk) supplemented with phosphate, b) human milk fortified with protein, calcium, and phosphate, or c) unsupplemented mother's milk or preterm formula. Infants randomized to preterm formula were fed formula only if their own mother's milk was not available, hence there were 2 subgroups of infants fed either unsupplemented human milk or preterm formula. Volume of intake was 191+/-14mL/kg/d (mean +/- SD); linear growth was measured weekly by knemometry; head circumference was measured weekly; and growth rate was calculated by linear regression for each infant. Bone mineralization and body composition were measured by DEXA-scan (Hologic 1000/W) at term. There was a tendency toward slower growth and less bone mineral content in infants fed unsupplemented human milk but, surprisingly, the difference was small and not significant.
