The fundamental principle underlying nutritional support is that intake meets needs thereby ensuring the best outcome, which, in the case of the preterm infant, is optimal growth and development. Achieving this goal is problematic. Most, if not all, very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWI) are undernourished and under-grown when they are first discharged from the hospital. This has important implications for the nutritional care of preterm, particularly the breast-fed, VLBWI after hospital discharge.
营养支持的基本原则是摄入满足需求，从而确保最佳结果，对于早产儿而言，最佳结果是最佳生长和发育。实现这一目标存在问题。大多数（如果不是全部的话）极低出生体重儿（VLBWI）在出院时都存在营养不足和生长不良的情况。这对早产儿，特别是母乳喂养的极低出生体重儿（VLBWI）出院后的营养护理具有重要意义。
