title: Milk for small infants.
abstract: This study investigated weight patterns of infants born SGA, in relation to two different feeding regimens during hospital stay. We compared 21 SGA infants prescribed 200 mL/kg milk on day 2, with 21 infants, prescribed 170 mL/kg on day 9. The infants fed according to the proactive nutrition policy tolerated large volumes of milk and showed lower weight loss.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A proactive nutrition policy demonstrably reduces weight loss in SGA infants.
