Growth, feed intake, and quality of feeding should be assessed at discharge then closely monitored every 2-4 weeks after discharge until appropriate growth is established. Parents should have access to a dietitian as needed.
-- Canadian Pediatric Society, 2022
"Dietitians are highly trained professionals skilled at assessing, diagnosing and managing the nutritional care needs of neonates. Consideration should be given to provision of enhanced nutritional support for at risk infants after discharge."
-- The British Association of Perinatal Medicine, November 2022
