Abstract
Recommended dietary intakes are based on needs for maintenance and growth and the assumption that postnatal growth approximates that in utero at the same post conceptional age.1 However, recommended intakes take time to establish, and, having been established, are commonly interrupted for clinical reasons during the first three to four weeks of life in preterm infants.Keywords
