Hour of Life at Enteral Feeding Initiation and Associated Clinical Morbidity in Extremely Low-Birth-Weight Infants
Timing of enteral feeding initiation may be delayed in ELBW infants with higher clinical acuity, yet later initiation by hour of life is associated with worsened clinical respiratory outcomes. Early initiation within the first 12 h of life is feasible and was not associated with gastrointestinal morbidity in this single-center cohort of ELBW infants.
