Preterm Infant Nutrition

Preterm infant nutrition is crucial for the growth and development of babies born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. These infants often need special care because they are not as developed as full-term babies. Breast milk is considered the best option, as it provides essential nutrients and antibodies. However, some preterm babies may need fortified milk to ensure they get enough calories and nutrients. Healthcare providers closely monitor their growth and may recommend specific feeding plans to support their unique needs, helping them thrive during this critical time in their early life.
