Abstract

The newborns need to adapt from a relative constant supply of all nutrients to an intermittent feeding. Normal term infants rapidly overcome this situation. However, preterm newborns
or even ill term infants commonly exhibit special condition that injure their nutrition. In these cases, principles of nutritional support should be establish, in order to improve nutritional goals. The principles of nutritional support are: growth patterns, fetal body composition, nutritional assessment including
growth and metabolic parameters, nutrient requirements and nutritional monitorization.
