BEST NUTRITION FOR PRETERM INFANTS [NICU-BESTNUTR120221]

Enteral nutrition is essential for preterm infants’ growth and development. Breast milk is the best primary source of nutrition for newborn infants since breast milk consists of basic essential nutrients, immunoglobulin and growth factor.

Also, clinicians should know the best practices for handling and administering of expressed breast milk and fortification to avoid contamination or infection.
