Objectives: The present study evaluates the recovery of growth in children who were premature, born with lower GA or equal to 34 weeks old, the children were aged between 16 months and 24 months and had been hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for duration of four weeks or more. This study also seeks to relate the recovery of growth to maternal history, circumstances of birth, feeding and therapeutic intervention used during hospitalization in the NICU. Methodology: The stage of completion of the research was conducted at the ‘Dr Nelson da Costa Chaves’ Prematurity Specialties Clinic of Conjunto Hospitalar de Sorocaba (CHS), between August 2014 and April 2015, identifying the infant, and later analysing the medical charts directly. A compound formula of five parts was used: maternal history, circumstances of birth, therapeutic intervention RN, nutrition and child growth monitoring. Results: Of the 11 participants, only two did not recover the expected growth, 2 did not recover the PC and only one did not recover the minimum expected weight. Conclusion: More attention should be paid to prenatal care, mainly due to diseases that can result in intrauterine growth restriction and preterm labour, often generating irreparable losses among newborns.Downloads
