Nutritional Therapy of Premature Babies

Abstract

Premature babies are more vulnerable to health issues due to their underdeveloped organs and immune systems. Providing proper nutrition is extremely important for their growth and health. This research focuses on the significance of nutrition in caring for premature babies, drawing from a thorough examination of existing studies. It highlights how early nutrition impacts the growth, brain development, and overall health of preterm infants. The review explores different nutritional methods like fortifying breast milk, using intravenous nutrition, and specialized preterm formulas to improve their nutritional status and health outcomes.
