Breastmilk is the ideal food for babies, providing nutrients and energy plus additional benefits for the immune system and brain development. However, babies born prematurely at a very low birthweight need additional protein, calories, vitamins and minerals. To meet these nutrition needs, doctors may decide to add a human milk fortifier (HMF) to your breastmilk.
But be aware — most "Human Milk Fortifier (HMF)" products are made from cow’s milk. Prolacta offers the only fortifiers in Australia made exclusively from 100% donor breastmilk with essential minerals instead of cow milk: Humavant+ H2MF® human milk fortifier (human, pasteurised) and Surgifort human milk fortifier (human, pasteurised).
Fortifying breast milk with Prolacta's human milk-based fortifiers is the only way your critically ill or premature baby can benefit from a 100% human milk-based diet.
