Abstract

Advances in perinatal medicine will continue to improve our care and increase our understanding of the unique nutritional requirements of the VLBW infant and especially of the ELBW infant. Developments that permit neonatologists to meet those nutritional needs should improve the growth and well-being of VLBW infants. Longitudinal growth curves of hospitalized VLBW infants, such as the ones described in this article, should not be considered optimal and should be updated as ways safely to improve the growth of VLBW infants are identified.
