How does the daily EER of an infant born before 34 weeks of gestation compare to the daily EER of late preterm (born between 34 and 37 weeks of gestation) and term infants (born at or after 37 weeks gestation)

Explanation:

The average dietary energy intake predicted to maintain energy balance in healthy, normal weight individuals of a defined weight, height, age, gender and level of physical activity consistent with good health is referred to as Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) .

There is usually a variation in the  daily Estimated Energy Requirement varies for early preterm infants  (born before 34 weeks of gestation), late preterm infants (born between 34 -37 weeks of gestation ) and term infants (born after 37 weeks of gestation).

According to the scientific advisory committee, the recommended energy requirement is expected to be : 110 - 135 kcal/ kg/day for early preterm infants,  100 - 130 kcal/ kg/ day for late preterm infants and  96 - 120 kcal/ kg/day for a term infant.

good question my friend
