Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Birth weight of 700 g-1500 g.
* ≤ 32 weeks and 0 days GA at birth.
* Appropriate for GA (AGA).
* Enteral feeding of human milk initiated by 21 days of life (birth date is day of life 0).
* Mother agrees to provide human milk as the exclusive feeding during the study period; use of donor milk is permitted if the plan is that it will be fortified.
* Parent(s) agrees to allow infant to receive both human milk and HMF.
* Singleton or twin births only.

Exclusion Criteria

* Enteral feeding of preterm infant formula or HMF for \> 7 days.
* Expected to be transferred to another facility and will not be able to be followed for at least 15 days.
* Serious congenital abnormalities or underlying disease that may affect growth and development.
* 5 minute APGAR ≤ 4.
* Steroids used at the time of randomization.
* Grade III or IV periventricular/intraventricular hemorrhage (PVH/IVH).
* Mechanical ventilator dependence.
* Maternal incapacity: including maternal cocaine or alcohol abuse during pregnancy or current, or if the mother or infant is currently receiving treatment consistent with HIV therapy.
* Infant has a history of major surgery (intra-thoracic or intra-abdominal procedures or other surgery requiring general anesthesia).
* Asphyxia defined as progressive hypoxemia and hypercapnia with significant metabolic acidemia characterized by APGAR score \<3 at 10 minutes, seizures within the first 12 hours of life, or a cord blood gas \< 7.0 and seizures and/or severe tonic abnormalities in the first 12 hours of life (24).
* Confirmed necrotizing enterocolitis (Bell's Stage II or III, Appendix J) or confirmed sepsis (positive culture requiring antibiotic treatment).
* Infant has any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, precludes participation in the study.
* Participation in another study that has not been approved as a concomitant study by AN.
