Abstract

Nutritional support is essential in the critical care of the very preterm infant, however, the study of the potential role of nutrition in the multifactorial pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is limited. Achievement of full enteral feeding faster has not been shown to be harmful and may be of benefit in extremely preterm infants. This commentary discusses the studied risk and potential benefits of more rapid enteral feeding advancement in extremely preterm infants.

Keywords: enteral feeding; extremely preterm infant; faster feeding advancement.
