Core Tip	Newborns born under 2 kg often have difficulty feeding due to small stomach capacity, as well as poor absorption and digestive functions, which can affect their growth and development. As such, mothers may feel worried, anxious, and depressed. This study focused on the introduction of enteral nutrition support within 24 hour of birth, which can promote maturity of gastrointestinal function, improve nutrition absorption, facilitate the best growth and development in the short-term, and play a positive role in alleviating the mother’s anxiety and depression.
