Dr. Nadja Haiden presents an in-depth discussion on post-discharge nutritional strategies for preterm infants, introducing the soon-to-be-published ESPGHAN guidelines. This comprehensive lecture covers growth monitoring, nutrient supplementation, and individualized feeding approaches tailored to the unique needs of preterm infants.
Key takeaways include the critical importance of balancing growth and metabolic health, the role of vitamin D and iron supplementation, and strategies to support catch-up growth while minimizing risks of metabolic syndrome and developmental delays. Dr. Haiden also emphasizes the significance of introducing complementary feeding based on neurodevelopmental readiness rather than age alone.
