What parents should know about nutritional options

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.
