Patients will receive enteral feeding based on the practice of the leading physician.
Infants will receive enteral feeding based on the following protocol. Enteral nutrition Minimal enteral nutrition (MEN) will begin within 72 hours life at 10 to 20. mL/kg/day, via bolus gravity breast milk/donor human milk. MEN will not be included in the caloric goals. Advancements in feeding will be set at 20-30 mL/kg/day, but not more than 10ml per feeding portion to reach a goal of 150ml/kg/day, but not than 120ml/kg/day cases of fluid restriction). The goal will be to reach an overall daily caloric intake of minimum 100kcal/kg/d.
