Breastfeeding Trends Among Very Low Birth Weight, Low Birth Weight, and Normal Birth Weight Infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 2018
To examine the change in breastfeeding behaviors over time, among low birth weight (LBW), very low birth weight (VLBW), and normal birth weight (NBW) infants using nationally representative US data.Univariate statistics and bivariate logistic models were examined using the Early Child Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (2001) and National Study of ...

Individualized behavioral and environmental care for the very low birth weight preterm infant at high risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia: neonatal intensive care unit and developmental outcome.

Pediatrics, 1986
We hypothesize that the respiratory and functional states of the very low birth weight infant with bronchopulmonary dysplasia can be improved in the neonatal intensive care unit by prevention of inappropriate sensory input.

Postnatal Weight Changes in Low Birth Weight Infants

Pediatrics, 1987
Postnatal 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.

Growth of low-birth-weight infants

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1970
Growth 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,

Pathogenesis and Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1983
Sir .—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.

Fungal colonization in the very low birth weight infant.

Pediatrics, 1986
In the neonate, fungal infections result in significant morbidity and mortality. For very low birth weight (less than 1,500 g) infants, we prospectively determined the fungal colonization rate to be 26.7%.

Vitamins and Low Birth Weight Infants

Pediatrics, 1980
The 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.

Enteral feeding of low birth weight infants

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2002
There 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 ...

Infant Mortality and the Low-Birth-Weight Infant

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1985
Neonatal mortality nose-dived between 1970 and 1980, largely because of increased survival of low-birth-weight infants, report McCormick et al 1 in this issue ofThe Journal. This dramatic surge in survival of infants at high risk, they note, has occurred in the wake of mothers delivering at perinatal centers with neonatal intensive care units. Because
