Intervention

Drug:
Glycerin
Glycerin group "GG" will receive the 0.5 suppository (700 mg) twice daily for 48 hours. We will use the rounded part and discard the other part then will hold baby's buttocks for 2 minutes to ensure its delivery.
Procedure:
Rectal stimulation
Rectal stimulation "SG" by soft cotton swab inserted to around 3 cm. The stick will press against the rectal wall in all direction for 2 minutes twice daily for 48 hours. Ky gel will be used to lubricate the stick and minimize direct friction to rectal wall.
Other:
Control
Control group "CG" will receive routine NICU medical care without any specific intervention for the infant. The research nurse will do shame placebo twice daily by opening his diaper to blind the team for 2 minutes.
