description The article focuses on the issue regarding the survival, preservation of life, health and neuropsychic development of infants with extremely low birth weight. 25 preterm infants aged 0 to 4 weeks were studied. The inclusion criteria were infants aged 28–34 weeks of gestation, with weights ranging from 1,000 to 1,850 g. Enteral feeding consisted of specialized formula with prebiotics (6 hours after birth through a drip feeding tube), increasing to 150 ml/kg a day by the age of 10–12 days. The study results demonstrated that the maximum weight loss was recorded on day 4,0 ± 1,5. The original body weight was restored, on average, on day 13. The average daily weight gain was 14,0 g/kg a day which evidenced good digestion of nutrients and high energy value of the formula. The results of lab tests showed a reduced level of nonesterified fatty acides, a slow waning of _-fetoprotein synthesis. Using a special formula with prebiotics on this category of infants, therefore, provides optimal rate of body weight growth and models protein lipid metabolism in blood serum after the anabolic pattern. Key words: preterm infants, infants with extremely low birth weight, feeding, special care. (Pediatric Pharmacology. – 2010; 7(5):78-81)
