Objective: To compare the effectiveness and complications of bolus versus continuous tube feeding in pre-term newborns <1500 grams. Study Design: Quasi-experimental study Place and Duration of Study: Neonatology Department of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences Islamabad, from Nov 2014 to Mar 2016. Methodology: A total of 60 pre-terms; <34 weeks meeting the inclusion criteria, were included in the study and grouped according to birth weight; group A between 1000 to 1250 grams, and group B between 1250 to 1500 grams. Newborns from each group were randomly selected for bolus feeds given intermittently after every 2 hours, and continuous feed given with infusion pump. All infants were maintained in closed incubators until they weig...
