ABSTRACT

Objective. To know if premature infants ‹ 1,800 g of weight and three days of age maintain a normal level of glucose in blood, when they are feeding with formula.
Material and methods. The evolution of 42 neonates, fed only with formula (group B), it was compared with that of 42 historical controls (group A); both groups were selected by with the same criterion. Information was collected about blood glucose, body weight increment and morbidity.
Results. The group B had better weight at leaving the hospital, a normal concentration of glucose in blood, less morbidity and they remained less days in the hospital.
Conclusion. Avoiding in premature children the parenteral liquids after the third day of life and feeding them with human milk or a formula for premature infants, it is enough for them to gain weight and to maintain their concentration of normal glucose. Also, it avoids risks of complications.
