Objective: To determine if higher enteral protein intake leads to improved head growth at 40 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) in preterm infants less than 32 weeks or 1500 g. Method: Randomized controlled trial in which 120 infants were assigned to either group A with higher enteral protein intake achieved by fortification with higher protein containing fortifier [1 g/100 ml expressed breast milk (EBM)] or to group B with lower enteral protein intake where fortification was done with standard available protein fortifier (0.4 g /100 ml EBM). Results: The mean (SD) protein intake was higher in group A as compared to group B; 4.2 (0.47) vs 3.6 (0.37) g/kg/day, P
