Parenteral Nutrition.
Prematurity and other complications at birth are nutritional emergencies. Parenteral nutrition is a bridge to enteral nutrition and sometimes the sole source of nutrition for life.

Newborns benefit from serial growth assessments, monitoring of biochemical status, nutrition-focused physical examinations, and management by a multidisciplinary team to ensure adequacy of parenteral nutrition and promote best outcomes.
Recommendations for ample provision of protein, energy, calcium and phosphates through parenteral or/and enteral nutrition in preterm infants for proper bone growth and mineralization.
This report provides narrative review and consensus recommendations in hospitalized adult and pediatric populations pursuant to 2017 ASPEN Parenteral Nutrition Safety Committee and
the Clinical Practice Committee meeting.
Preterm birth, asphyxia, acidosis, and prolonged parenteral nutrition increase the risk of mineral imbalance and metabolic bone disease. Aggressive postnatal nutrition is key to preventing and treating metabolic bone disease in preterm infants.
The aim of this study was to evaluate growth and bone mineralization at term in very/extremely preterm infants who received enteral calcium and phosphorus intakes during the first 10 days of life.
