Protein and fat delivery ~current nutritional recommendations, whereas CBH & total energy intake delivery did not. Yet, GV of infants > current guideline of 15 g/kg per/d. Yet, we found growth restriction (ie, weight for GA < 10th centile) in 75% of infants at 28 d. Early nutrients is important determinant of postnatal growth. Extrauterine growth restriction remains high in ELGANs even when w/GV rate within current guidelines.
