What role do they play in protecting infants from infection and inflammation?

Is it possible to optimize this growth in very small infants? Dr. Hair discusses the results of adding donor milk cream supplement to an EHMD with the goal of increasing lean mass, consisting of bone and muscle growth.

Martin](https://humanmilkinnovation.lactalogics.com/camilia-martin?hsLang=en)*, Division of Newborn Medicine Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School* Mothers’ own milk is considered to be the best source of infant nutrition but in the U.S. with only 13% meeting the recommendation to breastfeed exclusively for six months. This research was conducted to review the nutritional information of breast milk and infant formulas for better understanding of the importance of breastfeeding and the uses of infant formula when a substitute form of nutrition is required.
