Doctors have tried many different methods of feeding to try to decrease feeding intolerance in preterm babies so that they spend less time receiving liquid nutrition and have fewer problems with feeding intolerance.
The purpose of this study is to test two different methods of feeding preterm babies in the hopes of identifying a method that will decrease some of the feeding intolerance that can occur when feeding premature babies.
2,554 studies on the registry are indexed under Premature Birth; 498 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 136 is above the median of 84 across 1,689 interventional studies indexed under Premature Birth.

Exclusion Criteria:

This group will receive feeds administered by bolus method over no more than 30 minutes per feed.
Other: Length of time for feed administration
This group will receive feeds administered by slow infusion over pump for 2 hours.
Other: Length of time for feed administration
Group 1 will consist of babies fed by bolus method, administered over no more than 30 minutes. Group 2 will be fed by slow infusion by pump over 2 hours.
To compare feeding intolerance between these two groups as defined by the following criteria: the number of times that the signs and symptoms in an infant caused the perception of feeding intolerance with feeds paused for longer than one feeding.
Time frame: Daily
To compare the number of days it takes the infant to reach full feeds.
Time frame: After reaching full feeds.
To compare the number of days the infant requires intravenous nutrition.
Time frame: After reaching full feeds.
To compare the number of days of overall hospitalization duration.
Time frame: After patient discharge.
