Effect of high-energy feedings on low birthweight infants. 1979

J H Drew, and R Johnston, and C Finocchiaro, and P S Taylor, and H J Goldberg

A comparison of the effect of 100.5 kJ/30 mL (24 kcal/30 mL) feedings with that of 84 kJ/30 mL (20 kcal/30 mL) feedings on infants with a birthweight of 1500 g or less was made. No consistent benefits in growth occurred and there was a tendency for an increase in complications in infants fed the 100.5 kJ/30 mL milk. Hence the higher-energy feeding cannot be recommended as the routine feeding for low birthweight infants.
