Association between Early Feeding Patterns and Neonatal Outcomes in Very Preterm Infants: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Early feeding with fortified DONOR, in comparison to formula, to supplement MOM was not associated with any differences in short-term growth, length of stay, and neonatal morbidities. However, early feeding with mainly maternal milk, compared to maternal milk supplemented with DONOR, was associated with significantly lower overall weight gain.
