What is the increase in volume for continuous feeds for infants over 1-6 years every 2-8 hours?

In the management of continuous feeds for infants aged 1 to 6 years, the recommended increase in volume typically ranges from 10 to 15 mL/kg. This amount is designed to accommodate the nutritional needs and growth patterns of children in this age group, who often require higher caloric intake to support their developmental milestones.

When providing continuous feeds, it is important to consider both the individual child's needs and the overall feeding plan, which is often based on their weight and any medical considerations. The volume increase every 2-8 hours helps to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition throughout the day while allowing for adjustments based on tolerance and growth requirements.

Other options suggest significantly lower volume increases, which may not meet the nutritional demand for a child in this age range. Using an increase of 10-15 mL/kg is a widely recognized guideline that helps ensure proper growth and development in pediatric patients.
