The goal of this clinical trial is aims to evaluate the effects of applying colostrum orally every 4 and 2 hours in order to achieve trophic feeding in preterm infants. The main question it aims to answer is the optimal frequency of colostrum application that can be applied Participants will be divided by randomization using permutation blocks after meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria and deemed eligible. These blocks were then randomized using computer software such as Microsoft Excel, determining the sequence for allocation to the control and intervention groups based on the randomization order from the permutation code, every 2 hours and every 4 hours. Researchers will investigate the effects of oropharyngeal colostrum application frequency, every 4 hours and every 2 hours, in order to achieve trophic feeding in preterm infants \<34 weeks gestational age.
