Abstract
Pulmonary mechanics were measured at rest and after feeds in 54 neonates of low birth weight. Infants with appropriate weight for their gestational age showed an increase in compliance and a small, but not significant decrease in elastic and viscous work after feeds. These changes were not seen in ‘light-for-date’ infants. There was no evidence of any harmful effect of feeding on the respiratory mechanics of these infants.
