Discussion

Randomized controlled trial shows early trophic feeding improves neonatal outcomes, indicating safety and effectiveness.

Infants receiving early trophic feeding regained birth weight significantly sooner, at 13.6 days compared to 19.8 days.
Early feeding reduced the duration of parenteral nutrition to 9.2 days versus 14.6 days in the late feeding group.
The overall length of hospitalization was significantly shorter in the early feeding group, averaging 12.6 days compared to 21.6 days.
Early trophic feeding did not increase the risk of complications like necrotizing enterocolitis or sepsis.

Asghar et al. (2025) studied this question.
