Overview

Comparative longitudinal study assesses outcomes of breastfeeding and formula feeding in preterm infants, indicating similar growth trajectories.

Key Points

  • Both breastfeeding and formula feeding support the growth and development of preterm infants effectively.
  • Formula-fed infants showed higher weight and length compared to breastfed infants, though not statistically significant.
  • Breastfeeding resulted in marginally better cognitive and social-emotional development scores at 24 months.
  • Statistical methods included repeated measures ANOVA and regression models to analyze growth parameters.
