Growth & Development

Early life events, including nutrition, play a powerful role in programming a person’s development, metabolism and health for the future. This section covers all aspects of the importance of maternal nutrition in the first 1000 days including nutrition in pregnancy, epigenetics, metabolic programming, breastfeeding, growth & cognitive development and a lot more.

Post-Discharge Nutrition in Preterm Infants: Balancing Growth and Long-Term Health

Preterm infants need careful nutritional support post-discharge to promote healthy catch-up growth and support brain development. Their growth status at birth helps guide monitoring and feeding decisions, with weight, length, and head circumference tracked using clinical tools like the Fenton and WHO growth charts. Many infants, especially those with growth faltering, may benefit from fortified human milk, nutrient-dense feeds or preterm/post-discharge formulas to meet higher calorie and protein needs. Studies show that enriched and two-stage formulas with HMOs can safely support proportional
