Brief Summary   All preterm neonates less than 34 weeks of gestation meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. This is a pilot randomised open label unblinded single centre study. The sample size is 50. The neonates will be divided into 2 study groups by a computer generated randomisation sequence. In the first group, the neonates will be kept nil per oral for 4 hours before, during and after Packed Red Blood Cell transfusion and in the second group enteral feeds will be continued before, after and throughout the transfusion. The neonates will be monitored for features of Necrotising enterocolitis occuring within 48 hours of Packed red cell transfusion using Modified Bell’s Staging.This study will help us to ascertain whether stopping feeds during and around packed red blood cell transfusion has any role in reducing the incidence of Transfsuion Associated Necrotising enterocolitis. The primary outcome is incidence of Necrotising enterocolitis post packed red cell transfsuion in preterm neonates. The secondary outcomes are neonatal moratlity, duration of NICU stay, duartion of ventilation and growth parameters.
