Abstract

The survival rate for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants has risen dramatically over recent years. With increased viability has come increased attention to the role of specific nutrients as causative factors for complex multifactorial syndromes such as cerebral palsy. In certain cases, the role of specific nutrients in brain development has been established. Taurine, for example, is an essential nutrient necessary for normal visual development in VLBW infants (1,2). Based on this knowledge, nutritional practices have been modified to assure an adequate taurine intake for formula-fed infants (3).
