Abstract: Prematurity is a major global problem because nature pushes people to be born early. This article addresses the common concern about adding fortifier to breast milk for premature babies. This article aims to educate parents about the different forms of breast milk fortifiers and their advantages and disadvantages. This article suggests that the better tolerability, less intestinal inflammation and availability in liquid form, which allows us to start earlier, as well as the less denaturation of the inflammatory mediators of milk, leads people to prefer human milk - based fortifiers over cow's milk - based fortifiers. The biggest disadvantage, however, was the high cost.

Keywords: bovine milk - based fortifiers, human milk - based fortifiers, milk fortification, neonatal nutrition, preterm infants
