  • Evaluate how maternal metabolic status and dietary intake influence variability in human milk composition and the potential impact on growth and clinical outcomes in preterm infants.
  • Compare the effects of maternal, donor human milk, and formula feeding on growth, morbidity, and long-term developmental outcomes in preterm infants, and evaluate evidence-based strategies for fortification and feeding to optimize safety and development.
  • Apply evidence-based feeding strategies and NEC prevention protocols, including exclusive human milk diets and standardized feeding bundles, to optimize nutrition management before, during, and after necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants.
