Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the time (in days) to achieve full enteral feeds (150 ml/kg/day) across the three feeding regimensTimepoint: Assessed daily from initiation of enteral feeding until achievement of full enteral feeds (150 ml/kg/day) or till discharge, whichever is earlier—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary: 1. To compare the rate of weight gain (g/kg/day) among neonates receiving the three feeding regimens. 2. To look for development of complications Necrotizing enterocolitis, incidence of apnoea, any incidence of Sepsis) 3. To assess the length of hospital stay among the groupsTimepoint: 1- Assessed daily during hospital stay until discharge or attainment of full enteral feeds. 2-Assessed throughout the hospital stay until discharge. 3-Recorded at the time of Discharge—
