Brief Summary   A randomized controlled trial to compare the weight gain at 40 weeks corrected age between preterm neonates (28-32 weeks gestational age ) subjected to tactile-kinesthetic stimulation (massage) for long period till 40 weeks of corrected age  to those subjected to the same for a shorter period of 7 days. Effect of the tactile-kinesthetic stimulation on duration of hospital stay,  neonatal co-morbidities,  feeding pattern and maternal bonding will be studied.
