Background: Although extremely low gestational age newborns (ELGANs) or extremely low birth weight (ELBW)newborns are born they have their third-trimester intrauterine life pertaining to development. During this time, one of the objectives of the NICU staff is to feed the newborn with enough nourishment to reach a growth velocity (GV) comparable to intrauterine GV. Early parenteral & enteral nutrition to ELBW infants during the first twenty-four hrs of life leads to a quick recovery of weight loss, enhanced overall weight growth, and earlier accomplishment of complete enteral feeding. Early & substantial protein administration has also been linked to increased weight gain & brain growth.
