Ways to improve protein intake in preterm VLBWinfants
Trayce Gardner, MEd, RD, CSP, LD
Nutritional NeedsEnergy and protein are both important in the
prevention of postnatal growth restriction seen in premature LBW/ VLBW infants
Enteral protein intake needed for optimal growth in preterm infants 3.4-4 gm/kg/d
Ziegler, E. E.: Meeting the Nutritional Needs of the Low-Birth-Weight Infant. Ann Nutr Metab 2011;58 (suppl):8-19
Example standards for Use of added Protein in NICU settingAll VLBW infants receiving fortified human milk –
added DOL 17-21 (once tolerating full fortified feedings for 5-7 days)
VLBW infants switched to formula feedings with poor linear growth or BUN <15
LBW Infants receiving fortified human milk or formula feedings with poor linear growth or BUN < 15
Preterm infants requiring use of term formula feedings (i.e. Elecare)
Use of human milk fortifiers with increased protein content
Available Protein AdditivesLiquid Protein Fortifier (Abbott)
Extensively hydrolyzedCommercially sterileUsed with both human milk or formulaOnly protein modular that is labeled for use in
preterm and term infantsComplete Amino Acids (Nutricia North America)
Essential and nonessential amino acidsPowdered/ non-sterileUsed with human milk or elemental term formulas
AvailableProtein AdditivesBeneprotein (Nestle)
Whey ProteinPowdered/non-sterileCan be used with human milk or formulasUse in NICU/Pediatrics established despite the
usage statementCommercially available thus can be used for
discharge feeding plans
General usages *Step 1 for human milk
6 mL LPF for every 100 mL of MBM Additional 1 gm protein per 100 kcal
Step 2 for human milk8 mL LPF for every 100 mL of MBMAdditional 1.3 gm protein per 100 kcal
Using LPF with SSC 241-3mL LPF for every 100 mL SSC 24additional 0.2-0.6 gm protein per 100 kcal
* Note, volumes used at TriHealth Good Samaritian Hospital NICU Cincinnati, Ohio
Example Recipes using LPF *Step 1 for human milk
100 mL Expressed human milk + 4 pkts SHMF-CL + 6 mL LPF
Step 2 for human milk100 mL Expressed human milk + 4 pkts SHMF-
CL +8mL LPF Using LPF with SSC 24
100 mL SSC 24 + 1 mL LPF 100 mL SSC 24 + 3 mL LPF
* Note, volumes used at TriHealth Good Samaritian Hospital NICU Cincinnati, Ohio
Elecare Fortification / Formula feedings
Using Complete Amino Acid Powder for additional protein
Aiming for same protein content of feedings as when using LPF
Example Cases
Brief History
29 6/7 preterm twin. BW 1440 gm. Trophic feedings of MBM/DBM initiated DOL
2
Followed VLBW infant feeding protocol
Reached full fortified enteral feedings on DOL 14
Moving onContinued feedings of MBM 24, mother with
good milk supply (received small amounts of DBM within the first week of life only)
DOL 20rate of wt gain averaging 13.2 gm/kg/d, length up 0.5 cm, HC up 0.5 cm added LPF –step 1
DOL 25rate of wt gain averaging 20.3 gm/kg/d, no change in length, HC up 2 cm
DOL 29BUN had dropped from 21 to 15, nursing reported infant appeared “puffy”
increased LPF –step 2
Almost homeDOL 36Above 2 kg, gaining on average 23 gm/d, length up 2.5 cm, HC up 1
cm.Taking all feeding po, plan to make POAL with shift minimum (140
mL/kg)Changed Feedings to MBM 26 with Neosure powder
DOL 40Averaging 17 gm /d, length up 2 cm, HC up 1 cmAveraging 148-160 mL/kg 100 % poPlan to discharge home within next day

DOL 28 began transition from DBM to SSC 24averaging 20.8 gm/kg/d, length up 2 cm, HC u 1.5 cm
DBM mixed 1:1 with SSC 24 ( two days)
Moving onDOL 30 transitioned to SSC 24DOL 34

made poal and gearing up for home, will keep the LPF until discharge and then send home on SSC 24
