Product Description
Low birth-weight babies comprise a minority of the newborn, but their feeding and care take up a disproportionate amount of time in busy hospitals. This book represents the conclusions of the Committee on Nutrition of the Pre-Term Infant of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (ESPGAN), to establish a scientific basis for the feeding of premature infants. It provides an in-depth analysis of scientific basis for the requirement of every nutrient for preterm infants and contains the ESPGAN Committee's recommendations for their correct and balanced administration.
