Abstract
•Early protein intake is associated with improved growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes in premature infants: achieving adequate intake requires a combined parenteral and enteral approach.•Maternal human milk is the preferred diet for preterm infants; further research is needed to develop evidence-based clinical guidelines for the use of donor human milk when maternal milk is unavailable.•For very low birth weight infants, unfortified human milk contains insufficient protein, energy, and many essential micronutrients, requiring supplementation with milk fortifier and/or multivitamin products.•Postnatal growth failure remains a common complication of preterm birth and is associated with adverse outcomes; optimization of growth outcomes requires attention not only to weight gain but also to appropriate linear growth and body composition both in the neonatal intensive care unit and following hospital discharge.
