      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: In Control group of the patients breast milk will be started and increase according the routine guideline of the unit without any solutions. Intervention 2: The first  group of the (case) patients will receive the synthetic Amniotic fluid solution with Recombinant Erythropoietin(r-EPO)  . The hospital pharmacist will  make the  solution using sterile technique and The solution contained contains ; 115 meq/l sodium chloride, 17 meq/L sodium acetate, and 4 meq/l potassium chloride,4400 mU/ml Epoetin alfa (Epogen, Amgen). Human serum albumin (5%) will be added to the infusion bag prior to the addition of the rEPO (final concentration of albumin=0.05%). The fluid contain a 10-fold higher concentration of Epo than natural amniotic fluid .  Aliquots (10 ml) will be frozen until use. Solution in the syringe will be pushed through the orogastric tube prior to insertion into the patient in order to reduce binding of rEpo to the plastic tubing. Upon enrollment of a subject a full day's dose will thawed. The full day's dose (5 Ml/Kg/D will then be divided into 3 equal amounts, to be administered by the bedside nurse every 8 hours. Each aliquot will allow  warming  to room temperature before it will administer. They will also receive feeding with breast milk after giving the fluid. The nurse of the patient and the person who are responsible for data collection will be blind to the group of the patients and the solutions. Intervention 3: The second group of the(case) patients will receive the synthetic Amniotic fluid solution without Recombinant Erythropoietin(r-EPO)  . The hospital pharmacist will  make the  solution using sterile technique and The solution contained contains ; 115 meq/l sodium chloride, 17 meq/L sodium acetate, and 4 meq/l potassium chloride.

Patients will consider ineligible if they have any congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract (i.e., omphalocele, gastroschisis, tracheoesophageal fistula, intestinal perforation), or have other major congenital anomalies (congenital heart disease, neural tube defect, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, Trisomy, etc.).They Also will exclude if the neonates judge as being too ill to be acceptable study candidates; this criterion will set as receiving mechanical ventilation with an  FIO2&gt;0.60</inclusion_criteria>
