Official Title: Impact of Feeding Interval of Preterms on the Time of Transition From Tube Feeding to Oral Feeding
Brief Summary: Preterms are usually fed with intervals of either two or three hours during their stay in neonatal intensive care unit. Recommendations of World Health Organization about feeding regimens, 3-hourly for infants 1500 - 2000 gr, and 2-hourly for infants 1000 - 1500 gr, are not proposed with regards to results of randomized controlled trials. Investigators aimed to investigate the impact of 2-hourly feeding on time of transition from orogastric to oral feeding.
