Abstract
However, evidence behind this practice is limited.[[1], [3]] It may reduce nutritional intake when feeds are stopped based on subjective assessments.[[1], [3], [5]] This is concerning because adequate nutrition is essential for growth and neurodevelopment.[[1], [3], [6]] Standardized nutrition protocol for very low-birth-weight infants resulted in less use of parenteral nutrition and associated complications, better growth, and lower rates of necrotizing enterocolitis.
