Feeding adjustments can involve altering the type, volume, and method of feeding. Common methods include:
1. Tube Feeding: Nasogastric or orogastric tubes may be used in neonates who are unable to suck or swallow effectively. 2. Parenteral Nutrition: Intravenous feeding can be essential for neonates who cannot tolerate enteral feeding. 3. Specialized Formulas: Formulas designed for preterm infants or those with specific conditions (e.g., metabolic disorders) are often necessary. 4. Fortification: Adding extra nutrients to breast milk or formula to meet the increased nutritional needs.
