Abstract
The article discusses the results of a study that examined the postoperative nutrition of newborns who are undergoing heart surgery (HS). The postoperative growth rates of newborns with congenital heart defects (CHD) breastfed and using a starting or preterm formula are compared. The study showed no significant differences in the growth rate of neonates. It notes that human milk in newborns undergoing HS allowed a growth rate similar to that of neonates fed with starting formulas and preterm formulas. It cites several reasons for the lack of differences among the types of milk used.
