Requirements for optimal nutrition, especially for micronutrients, are not well defined for premature infants. The “reference fetus,” developed by Ziegler et al,1 has served as a model to define nutritional needs and studies designed to determine nutrient requirements.

Appropriate provision of nutrients also may help prevent nutritional disorders, such as metabolic bone disease and anemia. In this review, we discuss calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D, iron, and copper, and define optimal intakes based on the available published data.
