What Challenges are Associated with Nutritional Management in Neonatal Disorders?
Several challenges can complicate nutritional management, including:
- Premature Birth: Premature neonates often have underdeveloped digestive systems and may require specialized nutritional support. - Congenital Disorders: Conditions like cystic fibrosis or congenital heart disease may affect nutrient absorption and metabolism. - Feeding Intolerance: Some neonates may experience feeding intolerance, resulting in vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal distention. - Metabolic Disorders: Neonates with metabolic disorders require specific dietary modifications to manage their condition effectively.
