In preterm born infants, growth is one of the biggest safety parameters, where the Fenton Growth charts are the world-wide standard.

Thus the quoted 15g/kg/d may work for gestational age that is less than 29 weeks, while infants born between 29 to 33 weeks are not found on the chart, and infants born 33 weeks and above grow less than 15g/kg/d.
