Objective This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of human milk protein fortifier (HMPF) versus bovine milk protein fortifier (BMPF) on feeding tolerance defined as the time to reach full feeds and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Study Design A retrospective review using the BabySteps Database included 493 infants born ≤33 weeks of gestational age and ≤1,250 g (g) birth weight. A total of 218 infants fed a human milk diet (HMD) with BMPF were compared with 275 infants fed an HMD with HMPF. Results Full feeds were reached significantly sooner in the HMPF group (median: 14 vs. 16 days, p = 0.04). Weight at full feeds was significantly lower in the HMPF group (1,060 vs. 1110 g, p = 0.03). Conclusion Using HMPF to provide an exclusively HMD allowed VLBW infants to achieve full feeds sooner, but did not affect rate of NEC compared with using a BMPF with an HMD. Key Points

Sometimes, in order to make an article brief, authors quote others, but the interpretations of the new authors may not reflect the context of the original observers. This has occurred in the quotation of several of our papers in a recent article by Pincus et al. First we are quoted as agreeing "that small infants where fed isocaloric diets gain weight more rapidly on a diet having a higher protein content" (author references 12 and 16). In reference 12,2 we state that infants fed 3.0 to 8.0 gm of protein per kilogram gained equally well. Only when the protein intake was below 2.0 gm/kg did the weight curve not rise as well. Indeed, in this paper, we noted a few babies taking more than 8 gm/kg protein who gained very poorly.
