Full Milk Feeds From Day 1 in Late Preterm Infants: Large RCT Shows No Shorter Hospital Stay and No Signal for Increased NEC or Hypoglycaemia

Highlight

Full milk feeds from the first day of life in clinically stable infants born at 30+0 to 32+6 weeks did not reduce length of hospital stay compared with gradual feeding supplemented by IV fluids or parenteral nutrition. There was no increase in necrotising enterocolitis or severe hypoglycaemia; serious adverse events were uncommon and unrelated to allocation.
