Feeding the low-birth-weight infant
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1971Summary A specific approach to feeding the low-birth-weight infant is presented which emphasizes the special requirements of such infants in terms of their weight, gestational age, and clinical maturity. The early use of parenteral fluids is outlined for the high-risk infant; this promotes metabolic homeostasis during the period in which oral ...

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1989
Sir .—In the January 1989 issue of AJDC , Georgieff et al 1 report on more aggressive early neonatal nutritional management, changes in cardiopulmonary management, and a lower incidence of chronic disease in 1986 compared with 1982. This has promoted earlier onset of, and a more rapid rate of, postnatal growth that extends to the first year of follow ...

Feeding the Low Birth Weight Infant
Clinics in Perinatology, 1993A true gold standard for assessing the nutritional outcome of preterm infants remains elusive. We are seeing an expansion beyond the traditional intrauterine-based short-term growth and nutrient retention rates toward a broader, and possibly life-long, range of outcomes.

Growth of low-birth-weight infants
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1970Growth in weight, length, and head circumference was measured through the first year of life in three groups of low-birth-weight infants: very premature, moderately premature, and mature but severely undersized. Curves of growth for each group were compared to those considered normal for the fetus and newborn infant. When corrected for gestational age,

Vitamins and Low Birth Weight Infants
Pediatrics, 1980The most recent recommendation by the AAP Committee on Nutrition (Pediatrics 60:519, 1977) as to vitamin administration in the low birth weight (LBW) infant is confusing. One can appreciate that at present there is a paucity of information and much controversy as to the actual vitamin requirements of the growing LBW infant at different stages.

Pathogenesis and Low-Birth-Weight Infants
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1983Sir .—I hesitate to criticize the article "A Model for Studying the Pathogenesis and Incidence of Low-Birth-Weight Infants" (Journal1983;137: 323-327) by such an expert as Dr Miller, and the related editorial "Continuing Challenges in Reduction of Neonatal Mortality" (Journal1983;137: 321-322) by Dr Avery.

Enteral feeding of low birth weight infants
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2002There is sufficient evidence at present to support early enteral feeding of low birth weight (LBW) neonates, including those who are sick or very preterm (< 30 weeks). Trophic feeding with human milk initiated within 48 hours of birth at 10-15 ml/kg/day improves later tolerance to graded increment of enteral feeding volumes without increased risk of ...

Postnatal Weight Changes in Low Birth Weight Infants
Pediatrics, 1987Postnatal body weight changes were assessed in 385 surviving infants with birth weights of less than 2,500 g. Body weight was measured daily between birth and 45 days of age. Infants were grouped according to 100-g birth weight categories, and mean body weight changes for each group were compared.

Oral feeding in low birth weight infants
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1997To gain a better understanding of the development of sucking behavior in low birth weight infants, the aims of this study were as follows: (1) to assess these infants' oral feeding performance when milk delivery was unrestricted, as routinely administered in nurseries, versus restricted when milk flow occurred only when the infant was sucking; (2) to ...

Transient cataracts in low-birth-weight infants
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1973Transient lens opacities have been observed in 2.7 per cent of low-birth-weight infants during routine ophthalmologic evaluations for retrolental fibroplasia; the onset was estimated at age 16±4 days (mean±standard deviation) and the duration, 25±30 days.
