Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis of newborn infants virtually vanished from our nurseries during the four years since the introduction of a slowly progressive feeding regimen. This cautious approach to feeding has been applied to selected infants whose condition during labor and delivery or whose neonatal problems indicate that they are at risk.
