Neonates on group 1 receive 0.2 mL of own mother's colostrum administered by the nurse. Process: one syringe will be placed on the patient’s right or left buccal mucosa, and the colostrum drops will administered toward the posterior oropharynx for at least 10 seconds. Treatment period of every 3 hours for 72 consecutive hours. A member of the study staff will follow up periodically and randomly the colostrum administration.

Prevention
Comparator / control treatment
Neonates on group 2 receive 0.2 mL of placebo (sterile water) administered by the nurse. Process: one syringe will be placed on the patient’s right or left buccal mucosa, and the placebo drops will administered toward the posterior oropharynx for at least 10 seconds. Treatment period of every 3 hours for 72 consecutive hours. This process will be closely monitored by the study staff. A member of the study staff will follow up periodically and randomly the placebo administration.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 303922 0
Incidence of Sepsis Clinical sepsis is defined as clinical signs of infection accompanied by concurrent antibiotic treatment of .3 days. Clinical signs of infection included all 3 of the following categories and at least 1 sign in each of the 3 categories: - General Signs (fever, apnea/tachypnea,respiratory distress, positive fluid balance), - Laboratory Results (leukopenia/leukocytosis, increased C-reactive protein), - Hemodynamic Alterations (hypotension, tachycardia, altered skin perfusion, decreased urine output, increased base deficit). This outcome will be assess by hospital records.
