Abstract:
Eternal Iron supplementation is providing of prophylaxis’s iron for pre-terms and
low birth weight infants to supply sufficient iron for growth and development without increasing
the risk of iron overload .Preterm infants are deprived of the significant iron accretion that occurs
in the third trimester of pregnancy and have reduced iron stores at birth compared with term
infants .Iron deficiency in infancy is associated with a range of clinical and
developmentallyimportant issues including neurodevelopmental deficits, delayed maturation of
the auditory brainstem response, risk for poor cognitive, motor, social–emotional and
neurophysiological development.
