Description : Neonatal nutrition involves the management of the nutritional demand of neonates. The nutritional care of newborns and infants particularly, premature newborns and infants, is challenging because of their growth and organ development needs. A child's health depends on proper infant nutrition from birth to adulthood. Breast milk is ideal for a neonatal, as it contains all of the essential vitamins and minerals. Neonatal malnutrition is a major cause of diseases, and leads to an elevated risk of infection, stunted growth, hemorrhage and neonatal death.
