👉In-Hospital Formula Feeding and Breastfeeding Duration

📌 IHFF was associated with earlier weaning, with infants exposed to IHFF at 2.5 to 6 times higher risk in the first year than infants exclusively breastfed. Strategies to reduce IHFF include prenatal education, peer counseling, hospital staff and physician education, and skin-to-skin contact.

👉Earlier re-initiation of enteral #feeding after necrotizing enterocolitis decreases recurrence or stricture: a systematic review and meta-analysis

📌There was no increase in negative outcomes with earlier refeeding after #NEC. Earlier initiation of enteral feeds resulted in a significantly lower risk for the combined outcome of recurrent NEC and/or post-NEC stricture.

👉Very low birth weight infants receive full #enteral #nutrition within 2 postnatal weeks

Necrotising enterocolitis is rare in babies receiving therapeutic #hypothermia. Enteral #feeding during hypothermia is safe and associated with beneficial outcomes compared with not feeding, although residual confounding could not be completely ruled out.

Continuous feeding may reach full enteral #feeding slightly later than babies receiving intermittent feeding, the evidence is of low certainty.

NICU discharge with NG feeds is associated with reduced NICU stay without increased postdischarge healthcare use or decreased parent HRQL, whereas G-tube #feeding was associated with increased postdischarge healthcare use.
