The goal of this study is to learn if a foam belly strap, called \"NeoBellyBand,\" can help with belly bloating, pauses in feedings, feeding success, and earlier discharge home for preterm infants who are requiring pressurized breathing support. Infants whose parents/ caregivers have consented to the study will be randomly chosen with a 50/50 chance of treatment with the NeoBellyBand or receiving standard NICU care. The main question it seeks to answer is if there are less interruptions to the feeding protocol for infants who have a NeoBellyBand placed on them compared with infants who do not. Infants on the treatment arm will have their bellies measured by trained personnel and have bands placed on them, which will be worn for most of the day while on breathing support with pressure.
