Preterm newborn abdominal NIRS value
Timeframe: Preterm newborns whose feedings are every two hours will be monitored for 6 hours and those whose feedings are every three hours will be monitored for 9 hours. Preterm newborns will be monitored for a total of three feedings
Fractional oxygen extraction value
Timeframe: Preterm newborns whose feedings are every two hours will be monitored for 6 hours and those whose feedings are every three hours will be monitored for 9 hours. Preterm newborns will be monitored for a total of three feedings
Gastric residual volume
Timeframe: Preterm newborns whose feedings are every two hours will be monitored for 6 hours and those whose feedings are every three hours will be monitored for 9 hours. Preterm newborns will be monitored for a total of three feedings
