Study Summary

Extremely low birth weight infants have significant water loss through their skin immediately after birth. This significant fluid loss is because they have large amounts of fluids, have immature skin and large surface area. Loss of fluids is associated with many complications. The investigators hypothesize that application of sterile water to the skin of these infants is associated with decreased fluid requirements in the first week of life , improve skin integrity and decrease some complications of prematurity.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome is daily fluid requirements in the first week of life. Daily fluid requirements from Day1 to Day7 will be compared between intervention and control groups.
