The 7 steps in the stabilisation phase are to treat and prevent hypoglycaemia, hypothermia, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, micronutrient deficiencies, infections and to start cautious feeding. The steps in the rehabilitation phase are to achieve catch up growth, provide sensory stimulation and prepare for discharge and follow-up
