“…This finding is congruent with that of Goudoever et al [13] who demonstrated that infants fed with formula containing lower energy (as human milk) had a markedly lower fat accumulation rate, even lower than intrauterine accretion rates. Nevertheless, more infants were fed simultaneously with both preterm formula and human milk, which could have affected our results.…”

“…The increase in length and head circumference is mainly influenced by the protein intake, the increase in fat by the energy intake. Decreasing the intake to 100 kcal/kg/day resulted in almost no weight gain in small for gestational age infants and a lower fat accretion in these infants compared to results found in the so called reference fetus [25]. These findings support the recommendation to provide 110-130 kcal/kg/day.…”

Abstract. Nutrition is of great importance for the preterm infant. It is not only essential for survival, but also makes provision for rapid development of many organs outside the uterus which process normally takes place in the third trimester of pregnancy. It is for future life essential that all factors that might influence the development are as optimal as possible, including nutrition. However, there might also be an upper limit to the intake of some ingredients in the neonatal period. The rate of growth of the preterm infant is five times higher compared to term infants and the breast of the mother delivering preterm might yet be ready to produce the optimal composition of milk. Preterm infants receiving mothers milk only are known to show a lower gain in weight and length than the so called reference fetus. It is therefore at least questionable if preterm human milk can be used to define the nutritional needs of the preterm infant. To define the optimal composition and amounts of nutrients for the preterm infant a factorial approach can be used. The estimated requirements are calculated from the calculated requirements for maintenance and growth. Though some studies have shown that the protein content of milk from mothers who delivered preterm can be higher in the first few weeks after birth compared to milk of term delivering mothers, soon after there is a rapid decline in protein content after which period the content is not different from the term delivered mother. Providing exclusively mothers own milk leads to suboptimal growth and insufficient accretion of minerals. The needs of the preterm infant in energy, protein, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals, pro-and prebiotics to provide optimal nutrition in the first days after birth are discussed in the paper. It is concluded that nowadays early, aggressive nutrition directly after premature birth with the immediate introduction of amino acids and rapid introduction of lipids is advised. Enteral feeding should be started very soon after birth, preferably on the first day of life and increased in the days thereafter. The first choise for enteral feeding is mothers own milk, supplemented from the second week with a fortifier. Special preterm formula might serve as a good alternative in case when breast milk is not available.Key words: preterm infants; nutritional needs; feeding; breast milk; preterm formula.

“…15 The energy requirement for most preterm infants to continue adequate intra-uterine growth (~15 g/kg/ day) is 100 to 130 kcal/kg/day. 7,16 Infants who are small for gestational age may require higher caloric intake than infants who are normal for gestational age. 16 Preterm infants have a high need for protein, calcium, phosphorous, vitamin D, and iron that needs to be matched in their diet.…”

Despite a decreasing trend in premature births, greater numbers of infants born at the limits of viability are surviving to discharge. Most of these infants have complex medical problems requiring multidisciplinary care. These infants are primarily cared for by the general pediatrician, but their needs are quite different from those of a full-term healthy newborn. The paucity of data regarding care for these infants complicates their management after hospital discharge. In this article, the authors present the most current evidence-based practices and provide a guide to the general pediatrician on caring for the complex neonatal intensive care unit graduate.
