Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the agreement between protein intake using breast milk analyser measurements and the fixed protein content as per unit nutrition audit during week 4 (22 to 25 days) of life.Timepoint: Week 4(22-25 days)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To analyze the protein, fat, carbohydrate, and energy content by a milk analyser in week 2 (10 to 14 days) of lifeTimepoint: Week 2(10-14 days);To compare protein, fat, carbohydrate, and energy composition of the milk samples between mothers with and without any co-morbiditiesTimepoint: Week 2(10-14 days) Week 4(22-25 days);To study the average calorie and protein intake per day from second week till discharge from the unit nutrition chart (updated weekly)Timepoint: Week 2 till discharge;To correlate weight delta z score from birth to discharge and the milk energy and protein content at around second week and fourth week of lifeTimepoint: Week 2(10-14 days) Week 4(22-25 days)
