between low

The authors reported that researchers and quality improvement executives tracking outcomes for very low
birthweight infants (those born weighing less than 1,500 grams) have increasingly used the general term «human milk feeding» to refer to both MOM and DHM, seemingly ignoring the fundamental, scientific differences
between the two.
