BackgroundVery low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) are at high risk for nutritional deficiency. Enteral feeding is usually challenged by increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The nutritional needs of VLBWIs are usually dependent on parenteral nutrition during early postnatal life. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional service of VLBWIs at Jordan University Hospital.MethodsThis was a prospective follow-up study of VLBWIs with birth weight ≤ 1,500 g. Data were extracted from medical charts and laboratory database.ResultsIn total, 43 VLBWIs met our inclusion criteria; of them, 21% were extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWIs). The mean gestational age was 29 weeks, and the mean birth weight was 1,218 g. The mean age of starting feeds was 3 days. Mean full feed age is 2 weeks. The most common side effect of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) was hypertriglyceridemia (35%).ConclusionsNutritional care of VLBWIs is well established in our center. Initiating fortification earlier and working to increase mother’s own breast milk supply is vital to improve growth in low resource setting.

“…Commonly identified barriers on providing exclusive breastfeeding are identified i.e anxiety of inadequate production, premature delivery, serious medical concern, separation from the baby after birth, stress, and discomfort (Sakka 2014). Previous study reported that 38% of mothers stopped breastfeeding due to a lack of breast milk (Ghasemi et al 2015).…”

“…While adequate practice can prevent both communicable and non-communicable diseases such as diarrhoea, pneumonia, and cancer (Walters et al 2016). Breast milk nutritional composition correlates with the baby's physiological states and immune system to prevent infection and reduce risk of obesity (Tao et al 2017;Sakka 2014). Furthermore, breastfeeding also provides comfort which bridges the differences between pre and postnatal life for infants, acted as a natural contraception for mothers and reduces risk of maternal cancers of reproductive organs (Newton 2018;Sakka 2014).…”

This study explored the effect of Sauropus androgynus, papaya leaves, and mung beans as mixed galactagogue drinks on breastmilk volume, frequency, and duration among urban postpartum mothers in Jakarta. A quasi-experimental study with 60 postpartum mothers divided in intervention and control groups was conducted. The intervention group was administered with a 400-cc traditional galactagogue drink daily within 4 weeks of postpartum, while the control group received 3 times breastfeeding counselling. The breastmilk volume was measured using the evaporative water loss method on mothers' weight at the first, second, third-, and fourth-week consumption. The mean difference of breastmilk volume, breastfeeding frequency, and duration between the intervention and control groups was calculated by bivariate analysis using an independent sample t-test. The breastmilk volume was not different between both groups on the first and second week (1 st :622.93±289.24 and 507.68±231.28, p=0.094; 2 nd :683.00±252.42 and 582.58±225.42, p=0.110), however, the intervention group had higher volume than the control group in the third and fourth week (3 rd :801.43±273.35 and 656.24±214.43, p=0.026; 4 th =908.52±271.27 and 756.69±196.29, p=0.016). No significant difference was observed in the breastfeeding frequency and duration among the groups. In conclusion, the new galactagogue mixed drink consumption has the potential to increase breastmilk production and enhance a mother's confidence to continue breastfeeding.
