Nutrition in very very low birth weight infants

D H Adamkin. Clin Perinatol. 1986 Jun.

Abstract

The VVLBW infant's limited nutritional reserves, high requirements for normal growth and development, and gastrointestinal immaturity pose a particularly challenging nutritional problem. Given the potential consequences of inadequate or inappropriate nutritional management, we are obligated to make nutrition a high priority in the overall care of VVLBW infants.
