The fundamental principle underlying nutritional support is that intake meets needs thereby ensuring the best outcome; in the case of the preterm infant, optimal growth and development. Achieving this goal is problematic and most, if not all very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWI) are undernourished and under-grown at initial hospital discharge.
