Newborn nutritionNewborn nutrition
Newborns adapt rapidly from a relatively Newborns adapt rapidly from a relatively constant intrauterine supply of nutrients constant intrauterine supply of nutrients to intermittent feeding of milkto intermittent feeding of milk
Normal, full-term newborns double their Normal, full-term newborns double their birth-weight by about 5 months of life and birth-weight by about 5 months of life and triple their birth-weight by 1 year of lifetriple their birth-weight by 1 year of life
Principles of nutritional supportPrinciples of nutritional support From 24/52 to 39/52 gestation fetal growth increases at a From 24/52 to 39/52 gestation fetal growth increases at a
rate of approximately 15 g/kg/D rate of approximately 15 g/kg/D
Term neonates loss about 5 to 10% of their birth-weight Term neonates loss about 5 to 10% of their birth-weight in the first 10 days to 2weeks of lifein the first 10 days to 2weeks of life
Preterm infant loss 10 to 20% of their birth-weight Preterm infant loss 10 to 20% of their birth-weight because of their immature skin and kidneys, regain BW because of their immature skin and kidneys, regain BW by 7-14 daysby 7-14 days
Term infants have sufficient glycogen and fat store to Term infants have sufficient glycogen and fat store to meet energy demands while preterm infants rapidly meet energy demands while preterm infants rapidly deplete their limited endogenous nutrient store and hence deplete their limited endogenous nutrient store and hence become hypoglycaemic and catabolicbecome hypoglycaemic and catabolic

Minerals Minerals
Accretion of Ca, Phosphorus, Mg and iron is maximal Accretion of Ca, Phosphorus, Mg and iron is maximal at the third trimester of pregnancy. Preterm infants at the third trimester of pregnancy. Preterm infants are prone to mineral deficiency because of this as are prone to mineral deficiency because of this as well as difficulty in estabilizing aedquate enteral well as difficulty in estabilizing aedquate enteral intake of the early weeks of life.
