Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Nutrition for the premature infant following discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) varies based on risk factors such as gestational age, birth weight (BW), occurrence of postnatal complications that affect nutrition (such as bowel resection for necrotizing enterocolitis), and the need for specialized nutritional supplementation caused by an inability to take adequate calories resulting from either volume limitation or inability to feed by mouth. Feeding issues are discussed in Chapter 23, and specialized nutritional support is discussed in Chapter 25. This chapter discusses the special postdischarge nutritional needs of infants born <37 weeks gestation.
