Pediapod: 27 July 2016 - Neonatal Nutrition
from Springer Nature · host Springer Nature
A baby's healthy growth depends on receiving the right balance of energy and nutrients. If a baby is born pre-term, its carers must provide the nutrition it would otherwise have received in the womb. Surprisingly, there is very little consistency in studies of neonatal nutrition and growth regarding how much energy and nutrients should be administered to preterm infants, and the expected growth trajectories. A team from the University of Auckland in New Zealand have looked at 22 studies and developed a way to standardize this information. www.nature.com/pr/index.html
