Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine an optimal strategy to wean nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in preterm babies. The investigators hypothesize that babies that are taken off NCPAP at lower settings will need fewer total days on NCPAP than those babies taken off at higher settings.
