Abstract
Optimizing nutrition in extremely preterm (EPT) infants has been a major strategy to improve the quality of neonatal intensive care. However, there is no standard for accurately assessing the nutritional status of preterm infants, nor is there a clear consensus on the actual nutritional practices. Careful management of nutrients intake is essential to optimize outcomes for EPT infants. It is clear that just a few weeks of insufficient nutrition can lead to permanent disadvantage. Appropriate nutritional management before discharge may prevent the occurrence of nutritional deficit at discharge or continuously.
