The proportion of units initiating enteral feeding within the first 24 h of life was: 43\/124 (35%) if gestational age (GA) &lt;25 weeks, 53\/124 (43%) if GA 25\u201327 weeks and 88\/124 (71%) if GA 28\u201331 weeks. In general, Scandinavian units introduced enteral feeds the earliest, followed by UK\/Ireland. Continuous feeding was routinely used for infants below 28 weeks' gestation in almost half of the Scandinavian units and in approximately one sixth of units in UK\/Ireland, but rarely in Australia\/New Zealand and Canada. Minimal enteral feeding for 4\u20135 days was common in Canada, but rare in Scandinavia. Target enteral feeding volume in a \u2018stable\u2019 preterm infant was 140\u2013160 ml\/kg\/day in most Canadian units and 161\u2013180 ml\/kg\/day or higher in units in the other regions. There were also marked regional differences in criteria for use and timing when human milk fortifier was added.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study highlights areas of uncertainty and demonstrates marked variability in feeding practices.
