Article Abstract

Preterm infants with lung disease present nutrition challenges to health care providers. Malnutrition is common, develops shortly after birth, and may continue into early childhood. Although there are many studies identifying the nutrient deficiencies in infants with chronic lung disease, few randomized trials have explored the effects of nutrition support on the prevention and treatment of chronic lung disease. The purpose of this article is to review current practices and ongoing controversies in the nutrition management of infants with chronic lung disease.
