Milk for small infants

E-L Funkquist et al. Acta Paediatr. 2007 Apr.

Abstract

This study investigated weight patterns of infants born SGA, in relation to two different feeding regimens during hospital stay. We compared 21 SGA infants prescribed 200 mL/kg milk on day 2, with 21 infants, prescribed 170 mL/kg on day 9. The infants fed according to the proactive nutrition policy tolerated large volumes of milk and showed lower weight loss.

Conclusion: A proactive nutrition policy demonstrably reduces weight loss in SGA infants.
