Hi all. I've recently seen some neonatologists treating medical NEC for 10 days with antibiotics and probably NPO just for 5-7 days...

Has any one done this or is there any article supporting this kinda approach?

This depends on the stage of nec,, in my experience in suspected nec. 5 to 7 days is enough if the baby is clinically stable and can tolerate feeding. And complete the antibiotic caurse
