Objective: We evaluated the feeding practices and development of late preterm infants (PN-T) in the postnatal period up to six (6) months of corrected age. Method: A descriptive study of the cohort conducted in four Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) in Cuiabá, in 64 late preterm infants (34 to <37 weeks), born in the period from January to October 2013. They were measured weight and growth at birth, at 40 weeks and at 3 and 6 months of corrected age and calculated anthropometric relations: BMI. Results: It was observed that 52 (81,3%) were classified as AIG (suitable for gestational age), and 10 (15,6%) had delayed intrauterine growth, being classified as SGA (small for gestational age). It was noticed that 53,1% were exclusively breastfed until 6 months of age, and that all parameters increased to 40 weeks, and at 3 and 6 months of corrected age in relation to birth weight. However, we detected at 3 and 6 months the important elevation of BMI percentage. Conclusion: These results show the importance of breastfeeding in the development of late preterm infants, point to the need for monitoring and somatic development, especially in the first year of life, which is a time of increased vulnerability to nutritional problems, and at the same time they emphasize the importance of monitoring the excessive weight gain at this stage, due to the high risk of developing future diseases related to food and nutrition.
