Study Arms (2)

Routine aspiration of gastric contents

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Infants will have routine aspiration of gastric contents prior to each feeding to monitor the amount of residual gastric contents remaining in the stomach.

Procedure: Routine aspiration of gastric contents

No aspiration of gastric contents

EXPERIMENTAL

Infants will not have routine aspiration of gastric contents prior to every feeding to assess residual gastric contents.

Procedure: No aspiration of gastric contents

Interventions

Infants will not have routine aspiration of gastric contents prior to every feeding to assess residual gastric contents.

No aspiration of gastric contents
