Summary: Retrospective studies show that parenteral nutrition during the first week after birth, providing calories, proteins, and lipids, is associated with improved neurodevelopment. However, an enhanced parenteral nutrition protocol in the early stage did not lead to improved neurodevelopmental outcomes. Instead, higher enteral caloric and protein intake in the first week after birth were associated with improved processing speed.

Summary: This systematic review identifies nursing practices for promoting feeding safety and performance in preterm infants with enteral tube feeding. Oro-motor stimulation and non-nutritive sucking are effective strategies for improving feeding performance. Further research is needed for other practices.

Summary: This article discusses the preferred method of nutrient provision for preterm infants and the benefits of early enteral feeding in enhancing nutrient delivery and promoting development. It also suggests methods to improve clinical enteral delivery and highlights the impact of early enteral feeding on preterm infant health, including enhancing micronutrient delivery, promoting intestinal and brain development, and reducing inflammation.

Summary: This study aimed to determine whether supplementation of bovine colostrum to maternal milk shortens the time to full enteral feeding. The results showed that bovine colostrum supplementation had no effect on the time to full enteral feeding.

Summary: Early minimal enteral feeding is associated with fewer PN-related metabolic complications and a higher rate of survival in critically ill newborns.

Summary: Metabolomic differences were observed between premature infants on Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) and those on enteral feeds, with higher concentrations of essential amino acids, lipids, and vitamins in infants on enteral feeds. This suggests the nutritional benefit of an enteral feeding regimen for growth and development.

Summary: The serum concentration of free choline in extremely preterm infants decreases in the first week after birth, then gradually increases over the next 90 days without reaching the initial levels. There is a negative correlation between a high intake of parenteral fluids and serum-free choline levels.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effect of feeding in different positions on gastric residual volume in preterm infants. While no significant difference was found among positions, the right lateral and prone positions were associated with smaller residual volumes.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of two different intermittent feeding methods on the transition to full enteral feeding in preterm infants. The results showed that the SIF group had fewer occurrences of gastric residual volume exceeding 50% and a shorter duration of non-per-oral status compared to the IBF group. Therefore, the use of the SIF method is appropriate for infants with feeding intolerance or at high risk of feeding intolerance.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate whether standard enteral feeding methods are safe and do not increase the risk of NEC in infants with duct dependent heart lesions.

Summary: In this study, rapid advancement of enteral feeds did not significantly impact infants' growth up to age 5. Weight and BMI standard deviation scores at age 5 remained lower than the reference population, suggesting that accelerated feeding may not contribute to increased childhood adiposity risk.

Summary: Feeding a VLBW infant is challenging as enteral feeding progression is often slower than recommended and differs from the prescribed amount. Factors such as higher gastric residual volume, absence of stool passing, longer opiate use, patent ductus arteriosus, and respiratory distress syndrome were associated with slower enteral feeding progression. It is important to adhere to the prescribed feeding regimen in VLBW infants.

Summary: The breastfeeding rate in China is low, and the adoption of feeding recommendations for preterm infants and low birth weight infants in NICUs is unclear. A survey was conducted to investigate the current status of human milk feeding and enteral feeding practices at NICUs in China. The results showed significant differences in feeding strategies between NICUs, but also identified areas of similarity. These findings are important for the development of national feeding guidelines and improve cooperation in NICUs at a national level.

Summary: Supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) plus enteral nutrition (EN) can reduce the risk of infection in critically ill patients, but it has no significant effect on all-cause mortality.
