Feeding infants with congenital heart disease
1984
Abstract: Infants with congenital heart disease often cannot ingest sufficient food to meet their bodies' needs. Frequent feeding and special feed techniques for nourishing these infants are recommended. Topics include: factors influencing delayed infant growth; how to feed the baby; the amount of milk (formula or breast) and calories needed; how to select an infant formula; the best infant feeding position; and advice on vitamins, solid foods, salt, weight gain expectations, and possible feeding problems produced by heart medicines. Information on the caloric content per portion size of various baby foods and on table foods that are high in sodium and potassium, is appended.
