Abstract

The vast majority formulas are unfit to meet the needs of very and, especially, extremely low birth weight infants (VLBW and ELBW) because they contain a protein/energy ratio below that required by these fast growing organism. This may lead to poor growth and usually corrected through a spontaneous increase in the amount of milk ingested.
