0.05). The amount of daily body weight gain in early minimal feeding group [(20.8?7.0)g/d] was higher than other groups (P0.05); The incidence of complications (apnea, vomit, abdominal distension, gastrorrhagia) was lower than in gastrogavage group (P0.05). Following all the patients when they were eighteen months old, there was respectively one cerebral palsy in the gastrogavage group and TPN group, and one mental retardation in TPN group. Conclusions Early minimal feeding and early sucking up could reduce the occurrence of feeding complications,shorten the length of hospitalization and reduce the incidence of sequelae in VLBWI.
