In conclusion, successful management of
difficult infants with BPD and failure to thrive
(undernutrition) would benefit from comprehensive
postdischarge nutrition that should require a
plan to address contributing medical, nutritional,
developmental/behavioural, and psychosocial
factors. That includes the use of nutrient-enriched
preterm/postdischarge formulae, eventually
concentrated and enriched into 1 kcal/ml and also
the use of enteral nutrition and feeding therapy,
ensuring adequate energy intake, parental support
and education.
