Abstract
The requirement of the normal newborn infant for energy is high immediately after birth, especially when the environmental temperature is not in the so-called neutral zone. This is very often the case in emergency situations. In premature infants the amount of substrates which provide energy during the first few hours of life is very limited. The carbohydrate reserves are low and the fat deposits do not exceed 5 percent of body weight in infants under 2000 g. In contrast full term normal newborn infants have 16 percent of their body weight as fat (1, 2).
