Amino acid formula is used in some centers, mainly trophamine especially when PN capacity is unavailable or anticipated delayed feeding for only a short term.

Nice. Well done

This is a common practice in some centres in Nigeria. Many do well and it was a good option especially for a lower resourced setting and it appeared to be cost effective. In the UK it's not a common practice. I think it helps though. Guidelines varies on when to stop. Some give till 34 weeks, others 36 and 40 weeks respectively.

I think UVC can stay for 10 to 14 days, some stretch for a few more days. With rapid escalation of feeding regime, most don't stay this long. UAC is even removed much earlier. In LMICs, UVCs still remain a large part of standard of care due to cost with PICC

Nice feeding plan from different NICU but the most important gain is avoiding needless starvation as practised in the past for fear of different outcomes. Buccal colostrum is typically now also started from delivery room.

This is very good. Your effort is appreciated and membership fee is appreciated

It can also occur in such setting but much less likely.

What is conventionally done is partial TPN with amino acid in daily intravenous fluid.

Thanks for sharing
