AB  - Nutritional  management  of  the  premature  infant  following  discharge  from  the  hospital  varies  depending  on  the  gestational  age  or  weight  at  birth,  occurrence  of  postnatal  complications  that  affect  nutrition  (such  as  bowel  resection  for  necrotizing  enterocolitis),  and  the  need  for  specialized  nutritional  supplementation  due  to  an  inability  to  take  adequate  calories  orally  or  due  to  the  risk  of  oral  feeding.  Feeding  issues  are  discussed  in  Chapter  31,  and  specialized  nutritional  support  is  discussed  in  Chapter  33.  Details  of  nutritional  support  prior  to  discharge  from  the  nursery  are  discussed  in  Chapters  43  and  45.  This  chapter  discusses  the  special  nutritional  needs  of  infants  with  a  birth  weight  of  less  than  2.5  kg  following  discharge  from  the  nursery.
