No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Provision of high and early fat intake may help to reduce the amount of postnatal weight loss in Very Low Birth Weight Infants. It may also help utilize the high amount of protein that is currently recommended to these premature babies. Also, we expect babies who get this appropriate intake to regain their birth weight earlier than others who are on slow fat increase regimen.
