Guideline Objectives• Standardize enteral nutrition introduction and advancement in
infants with birth weight less than 1250 grams
• TPN initiation, advancement and weaning
• Standardize definition and management of feeding intolerance
• Provision of adequate vitamin and iron supplementation
• Provision of pasteurized donor human milk (PDHM) if mother’s own milk (MOM) is unavailable or inadequate
• Reduce TPN and central line days by optimizing nutritional status

Nutrition Guidelines for Premature InfantsBirth Weight Less Than or Equal to 1250 grams

Significance
• Extra uterine growth restriction due to inadequate nutrition intake is
common
• Adequate nutrition is related to infection resistance, and long-term
cognitive, neurologic and developmental outcomes
• Nutritional approach where nutrients are administered at a more rapid
rate than previously endorsed recommended to facilitate growth
• Early aggressive parenteral and enteral nutrition is well tolerated and
is effective in improving growth

Significance
Ultimate nutritional goals for a preterm infant
• replication of in utero growth similar to that of a fetus of the same GA
• reach a functional outcome parallel to infants born at term
• avoid gastrointestinal injury

Human Milk
• Ideal feeding choice
• Preferred initial feeding choice is Mother’s own milk (MOM)
• Pasteurized Donor Human Milk (PDHM) used if MOM is not
available
• Colostrum used for oral care (via swab or syringe) when it
becomes available

Enteral FeedingMinimal Enteral Feedings (MEF)
• Initiated within 12 hours of birth
• Exceptions:
Hemodynamic instability
Surgical patients
• Umbilical arterial catheter, treatment with indomethacin, and high
FiO2 requirement not considered absolute contraindications
• Volume:15 – 20 ml/kg/day
• Administration: via NG/OG every 3 hours for 3 days

Enteral Feeding
• Feeding advancements after 3 days on MEF
• Increase volume by 20ml/kg/day
• Target feeding volume of 150 – 170 ml/kg/day
• If MOM is unavailable and mother declines PDHM, initiate feedings
with Similac Special Care (SSC) 24 kcal/oz High Protein formula
• Feeding advancement adjustments may be needed for
surgical conditions
critical illness
hemodynamic instability
signs of feeding intolerance
electrolyte abnormalities

Prolacta Weaning Protocol
• Begins at 33 0/7 weeks PMA
• All feedings fortified with Similac HMF
by 33 4/7 weeks
• SGA who are still < 1250g at 33 0/7
weeks, delay Prolacta wean until
either > 1250g or 14 days

Feeding Intolerance Decision Pathway
![Page 17: Nutrition Committee - Advocate Doctors](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071312/62cd2324eaaa424f06485971/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Feeding Intolerance
• Some feeding intolerance expected due to
gut immaturity
intestinal dilation related to noninvasive ventilation
• Feeding should not be withheld unless pathologic signs
of feeding intolerance are present.
• Gastric residuals should not be routinely checked prior to
feeding stable infants
17
![Page 18: Nutrition Committee - Advocate Doctors](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071312/62cd2324eaaa424f06485971/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Feeding Intolerance
Observations which would warrant holding subsequent feeds until
medical clearance include:
• Significant abdominal distention(≥ 2cm from baseline)
• Tender, firm or discolored abdomen
• Bilious emesis
• Bilious or dark green gastric aspirates
• Hypoactive/absent bowel sounds
• Blood in stool
• Non-bilious emesis of >50% of feed x 2 consecutive feeds if receiving ≥
40ml/kg/day enteral feeds
18
![Page 19: Nutrition Committee - Advocate Doctors](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071312/62cd2324eaaa424f06485971/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Feeding Intolerance
Observations which may require alteration of current feeding
regimen, but not necessarily cessation of subsequent feeds, include:
• Mild abdominal distention (<2cm from baseline)
• Persistent regurgitation/emesis of
25-50% of feeding volume x 2 consecutive feeds
or
>50% of feeding volume x 1 feed
• Significant feeding related apnea/bradycardia/desaturation

Use and Storage of Pasteurized Donor Human Milk (PDHM) in the NICU
![Page 22: Nutrition Committee - Advocate Doctors](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071312/62cd2324eaaa424f06485971/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Donor Milk
Banked donor human milk that is screened, pooled, and
pasteurized
Milk is obtained from one of the Human Milk Banking
Association of North America (HMBANA) milk banks
22
![Page 23: Nutrition Committee - Advocate Doctors](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071312/62cd2324eaaa424f06485971/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Definitions
• Preterm Donor Milk: collected from mothers who deliver infants
< 37 weeks’ gestation, within the first month after delivery
• Early Term Donor milk: collected from mothers who deliver infants
> 37 weeks’ gestation, within the first month after delivery
• Term Donor Milk: collected from mothers who deliver infants
> 37 weeks’ gestation, within the first year after delivery
23
![Page 24: Nutrition Committee - Advocate Doctors](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071312/62cd2324eaaa424f06485971/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Criteria for using PDHM• Birth gestational age (GA) < 35 weeks
• Per parental request if >35 weeks birth GA at sites where this option is
available
• GI diagnosis (eg. short-gut syndrome, Hirschsprungs, malabsorption,
GI surgery)
• Post NEC or a history of NEC
• Renal failure
• Feeding intolerance
• Some inborn errors of metabolism
• Provider discretion
24
![Page 25: Nutrition Committee - Advocate Doctors](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071312/62cd2324eaaa424f06485971/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Considerations
• Mother’s own milk (MOM) is always used first
• PDHM may be mixed with MOM to achieve desired feeding quantity
• If MOM is unavailable, PDHM is used exclusively
• PDHM can be fortified similar to MOM per current NICU protocol
• Multiples: If one infant is eligible, all siblings will receive PDHM
• Preterm PDHM used for infants < 1000 grams if available
Early Term PDHM used if preterm PDHM not available
Term PDM used if Preterm or Early Term PDHM not available
• Term PDHM used for all infants >1000 grams
25
![Page 26: Nutrition Committee - Advocate Doctors](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071312/62cd2324eaaa424f06485971/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
PDHM initiation steps• Obtain signed consent from parent/guardian
Telephone consent obtained if parents are not physically
available to sign consent
• Physician to order PDHM for the eligible infant as a nutrition order
• A formula order will not be written for these infants
26
![Page 27: Nutrition Committee - Advocate Doctors](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071312/62cd2324eaaa424f06485971/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
PDHM weaning process
• Physician enters Nursing Communication Order “Wean donor milk per
protocol.”
• General criteria for weaning PDHM
Stable and tolerating enteral feedings well
Absence of conditions that warrant the extended use of BM
• May extend weaning process if feeding intolerance develops
• Ideally, weaning should be completed at least 2 days prior to discharge
27
![Page 28: Nutrition Committee - Advocate Doctors](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071312/62cd2324eaaa424f06485971/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PDHM weaning process
• Infants born <35 weeks GA
after 14 days on PDHM or 35 weeks PMA, whichever is longer
until on ad lib feedings
• Infants born >35 weeks GA
after 14 days of life
• Suggested weaning schedule
Day 1: Two formula feedings intermittently throughout the day
Day 2: Four formula feedings
Day 3: Six formula feedings
Day 4: All formula
28
![Page 29: Nutrition Committee - Advocate Doctors](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022071312/62cd2324eaaa424f06485971/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Ordering/Storing/Handling of PDHM• NICU Lactation Consultants (LC) or designated healthcare provider
(HCP) notified if the PDHM stock is low
• LC or HCP will arrange for milk delivery with the milk bank
• PDHM will be stored in accordance with the current Safe Human Milk
Handling Policy
• PDHM stored in the NICU freezer until the milk bank designated
expiration date
• A single “Unit Bottle” of PDHM can be used for several infants
• RN to chart the feeding as “Donor Human Milk” in electronic medical
record
• Human Milk, Bovine Fortifier and Prolacta Conservation guidelines
should be followed
