Abstract

Small for gestational age (SGA) infants is a special group of neonates.The occurrence of SGA is mainly related to fetal, placental and maternal factors.SGA infants may have early physical growth retardation, and its long-term risk of metabolic syndrome, cognitive dysfunction and other diseases will also increase.Moderate nutritional intervention on SGA infants can promote its early reasonable growth and good neural development, but excessive nutritional fortification is associated with a series of metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases and so on.Therefore, balancing the relationship between nutritional intervention and excessive reinforcement to achieve the optimal catch-up growth of SGA infants is a hot topic in clinical research.This article reviews the nutritional requirements, nutritional support and feeding strategies of SGA infants.
