This study reports on the human milk fortification session at the 2019 NEC Society Symposium, which included clinicians and parents discussing the evidence comparing fortification options such as efficacy, safety, cost effectiveness, and the need for parents to be informed about fortifier choice. With the current literature available and the varying standard of care practices for human milk fortification, further studies are needed to determine the most complete diet for preterm infants. The optimal diet would not only provide key nutrients and energy for growth and development, but also improve short- and long-term outcomes. Parents, as advocates and providers for their infant, should be informed, educated, and included in the discussion and decisions regarding fortification of human milk for their infant.
