Feeding Tolerance and Growth of Preterm Infants Consuming a Supplement Containing Two Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs)

The goal of this post-market study is to describe the effect of a liquid supplement containing 2 specific human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), 2'-fucosyllactose \[2'FL\] and lacto-N-neotetraose \[LNnT\], on feeding tolerance, growth, and adverse events of special interest in preterm infants in a real-world setting. A comparison with data collected retrospectively from a historical group at each site will be made for time to reach full enteral feeding, growth and adverse events. Infants in the historical group were not exposed to an HMO supplement but followed the same local nutrition protocol to avoid confounding by differences in clinical or feeding practice.
