Nutrition Intake

Adds up an infant's enteral feeds and parenteral lines to report total fluid, energy, protein, fat, and vitamin D per kilogram, then compares each against ESPGHAN 2022 enteral targets for preterm infants. Per-mL nutrient values for breast milk, fortified human milk, and preterm/term formulas come from a built-in product table.

Enter the infant's current weight, each enteral feed (milk/formula × total mL/day), and any parenteral lines. Totals are reported per kg and compared with ESPGHAN 2022 enteral targets. Fortified human-milk and preterm products are in the feed list. Educational tool — not a medical record.
Verify product values before clinical use. The built-in nutrient values are approximate and may not reflect the latest manufacturer formulation. Always confirm caloric density and macronutrient content against the current product label or manufacturer website for your region.
