A significant number of SGA late preterms show a failure to recover weight and statural growth. Having experienced intrauterine growth restriction is associated with a greater chance of achieving statural catch-up growth. Being born singleton represents a risk factor for slower weight and height growth velocity. Breastmilk has a protective effect on failure to recover adequate weight and length in preterm SGA infants. This finding highlights the importance of promoting breastfeeding in this population.
