This research paper: 6 pages in length. There are myriad factors involved with influencing behavioral states in low birth weight infants, including – but not limited to – quality of diet, body position and time after feeding. For example, recent studies have clearly indicated the connection between diet and behavioral states is more involved than previously believed; that low birth weight infants are typically denied the standard nitrogen supply during early development, research suggests the need for aggressive nitrogen supplementation throughout the first days and weeks of life. The effects of body position during sleep and other quiet times have just as significant a role in behavioral outcome, based upon a recent study that evaluated LBW babies. And finally, current research has illustrated how nutrient assimilation is determined in great part upon the LBW infant's body position and time after feed. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
