Abstract

Premature infants have less nutritional storage capacity and an underdeveloped body, which makes them particularly susceptible to malnutrition. Nutrient surplus and deficiency are possibilities when supplemental feeding is unbalanced. However, little is known about what kids should eat once they are discharged from the hospital. Since many bodily processes depend on micronutrients, it's critical to plan supplemental nutrition with an optimum consumption in mind. This written summary describes the requirements for long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), iron, zinc, vitamin D, calcium, and phosphate for premature newborns receiving supplemental feeding. The scientific community is beginning to acknowledge the advantages of giving premature babies iron and vitamin D supplements. But as of right now, there isn't enough information available to make firm recommendations about the addition of calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and LCPUFAs. Nonetheless, the health of premature infants depends on the following micronutrients: Large chain polyunsaturated fats (LCPUFAs) support the development of the retina and brain, while calcium and phosphorus dosages are necessary to prevent metabolic bone disease (MBD) in preterm infants. It is obvious how understanding the variability of the premature population may help adapt nutritional planning in connection to the development rate, comorbidities, and thorough clinical history of the preterm newborn, even while we wait for consensus on these micronutrients.
