Nutrition concerns with infants that have Down syndrome include:

The initial nutrition problems resulting from VLBW and ELBW include:

1. inability to nurse like a full-term infant. 2. for most, a requirement for respiratory support to breathe.

There are many nutritional concerns in infants with special health care needs. Feeding problems may result from the disruption of the delivery of nutrients due to:

Refinements in the usual methods of measurement and interpretation of growth are needed in conditions known to influence growth and development. These include:

1. using specialized growth charts for specific diagnoses. 2. using indicators of body composition, such as body fat measures. 3. special attention to indicators of brain growth, such as measuring head circumference. 4. looking for biochemical indicators of tissue stores of nutrients.
