| Daily HM volume (ml) | 492.5 ± 48 | 492.5 (466–528.5) |
| Number of daily feedings | 10.3 ± 3.3 | 10 (8–11.25) |
| Infants Intake of Energy and Nutrients 1 | ||
| Energy (kcal/d) | 324.55 ± 66.83 | 326.62 (284.78–363.35) |
| True protein (g/d) | 4.74 ± 1.24 | 4.65 (3.96–5.18) |

| Iron (mg/d) | 0.19 ± 0.1 | 0.16 (0.12–0.24) |
1 Energy and nutrients intake from HM were calculated by multiplying the nutrient or energy content and mean daily milk intake.
