Abstract
We measured the sodium content of donor human milk (DHM) and calculated the estimated intake at a feeding volume of 160 mL/kg/day. The mean sodium content of unfortified DHM was 102.0 mg/L (4.4 mEq). Because <1% of bovine-fortified samples met the recommended sodium content, infants born preterm who are fed predominantly DHM likely require additional sodium.
