GA of highest growth rate
mid 30s with decline after 36
growth rate MC vs DC twins
MC lower
decreases with increases in GA and BW
TBW
EC water
Na content
Cl content
increases with GA and BW
IC water
protein
fat
ca phos mg
iron
energy source of fetus
2/3 glucose from mother
1/3 placental lactate
remaining = maternal AA
fetal energy expenditure
35-55 kcal/kg/d
gross energy intake =
energy excreted + energy expended + energy stored
enteral vs intravenous goals for infants
enteral 100-130 kal/kg/d
intravenous 85 - 95 kcal/kg/d
major protein sources in neonates

whey vs caseine re: cysteine and methionine content
whey has more cysteine and less methionine
whey to casein ratio colostrum
80:20
whey to casein ratio mature milk
55:45
whey to casein ratio in formula with predominant casein vs predominant whey
20:80
80:20 or 60:40
whey to casein ratio of preterm vs term
greater protein content and w:c in preterm

1g protein = 1 g AA = 0.16 g nitrogen
enteral protein goals
3.5 - 4.5 g /kg/d = 3.2 - 4.1 per 100kcal
essential FAs
