Preterm infants with a birth weight less than 1500 grams have special nutritional needs in comparison to full-term neonates. During their stay in the neonatal intensive care unit an increased supply with energy, protein, vitamins and electrolytes is necessary to establish adequate growth. After discharge from the hospital special breast milk supplements or post discharge formulas are available to cover the special nutrient requirements. Scientific research in this field focuses on growth, adaequate supplementation with nutrients and long term outcome. The group works in good cooperation with the department of clinical pharmacology in context of drug- or pharmacological research.
Clinical research, prospective randomized controlled trials, osmolarity measurements, measurements with the miris breastmilk analyzer
