 There has been little focus, at least there are few scientific reports on preterm infants with birth weights between 1500 and 2000g, at least in Norway. Studies have shown the benefit of enhanced protein and energy supplements in very low birth weight infants VLBW, birth weight 1500g, regarding growth and neurodevelopment . Adequate and properly balanced supply of nutrients is believed to give better growth and cognitive development in premature infants with slightly higher birth weight, i.e between 1500 and 2000g 1. In an intervention study of VLBW children at four Norwegian hospitals we found lower supply of energy and protein than international recommendations 2. A larger proportion of premature children were stunted growth weight below 10 percentile for age during hospitalization. Although this applies to preterm infants with birth weight less than 1500 g, this may also be the case for larger premature patients.
