Nutrition Challenges Affect Infants in the Hospital From Head to Toe

Nutrition Risk Factors for Very Low-Birth-Weight Infants

Limited nutrient stores & high nutrient needs

In extremely low-birth-weight infants, insufficient protein and energy intake can restrict growth.¹These infants need high calcium and phosphorus intakes for bone mineralization.

Feeding issues

Preterm infants have an immature alimentary tract. Sucking, swallowing, and breathing become coordinated by 32 to 34 weeks gestational age. Additionally, they can have medical complications.

From Protein to Probiotics, Flexible Options for Patient Care

In a recent study, Liquid Protein Fortifier added to fortified human milk was effective in increasing the protein intake of very low-birth-weight infants.²

Probiotics made for hospital use are shown to promote a healthy infant gut microbiome.^3,4,*
