Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the growth velocity weight in gram per kg per day in very low birth weight neonates fed with standard versus high volume feeds.  weight will be measured daily and weekly weight gain will be measured 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the other anthropometric measures viz length & head
circumference, & postnatal growth failure among these two groups.
3. To compare complications such as feed intolerance & necrotizing enterocolitis
stage two or more & chronic lung disease among these two groups 
These will be measured at birth then at enrollment & after it
weekly

Brief Summary   Postnatal growth of very low birth weight neonates is a very important aspect of their management. Prevalence of postnatal growth restriction in preterm as well as low birth weight neonates is quite high at time of discharge and matter of concern. A metanalysis of studies comparing high versus standard volume enteral feeds in preterm and low birth weight infants conducted in 2021 concluded that high volume feeds, more than 180 ml per kg improve weight gain during hospital stay. The available data were inadequate to compare other anthropometric parameters or adverse outcomes in preterm very low birth weight fed with high volume versus standard volume enteral feeds. They concluded that further studies are needed on the subject. Therefore, we planned this randomized controlled trial to compare study high volume versus standard volume feeds in very low birth weight infants.
