Adequacy of nutrition support is best estimated based on observed weight
gain and serial observations on standard growth charts. Parenteral nutrition
should be decreased as enteral nutrition is tolerated. The amino acid and lipid
portions of parenteral nutrition can be stopped when the enteral route tolerates
50% of the total nutrition.
