Feeding protocol

[msukumar]

Hi friends

We are trying to change from a conservative to more aggressive feeding protocol based on current evidence on its safety. We will be using breast milk exclusively.  I have seen the previous post on this topic but looking for a formal protocol/algorithm on feeding and dealing with  gastric residuals.

Appreciate your help!

We start breast milk firstly and if it not available we start formula 20cal/oz till 100ml/kg then switch to 24cal/oz
