Date	Event	Description
11 January 2011	New citation required and conclusions have changed	New data and an increased total number of participating infants (to 496) narrowed confidence intervals for the estimates of effect and modified the implications for practice and research.
15 December 2010	New search has been performed	This updates the review 'Slow advancement of enteral feed volumes to prevent necrotising enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants', which was published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Issue 2, 2008 (McGuire 2008). We updated the search in December 2010 and included one new trial (Krishnamurthy 2010). We included the following new co‐authors on the review team: Jessie Morgan and Lauren Young.
13 February 2008	New citation required but conclusions have not changed	We added the following new review authors: Sarah Bombell and William McGuire.
2 February 2008	New search has been performed	This updates the review 'Rapid versus slow rate of advancement of feedings for promoting growth and preventing necrotizing enterocolitis in parenterally fed low‐birth‐weight infants', by Kennedy and Tyson, which was published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Issue 2, 2000 (Kennedy 2000). We modified the title to read 'Slow advancement of enteral feed volumes to prevent necrotising enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants', and added the following new review authors: Sarah Bombell and William McGuire. We made the following changes to the original protocol. We defined 'slow' rate of feed advancement as daily increments up to 24 mL/kg (body weight). We restricted the population to very low birth weight and very preterm infants. We added mortality, adverse neurodevelopment, growth parameters, and infection rates as outcomes of interest. We updated the search in December 2007. We included one new trial (Salhotra 2004), and excluded one previously included trial (Book 1976). The findings and implications for practice and research of this review have not changed overall.
11 January 2008	Amended	We converted the review to new review format.
