This is a multicenter randomised controlled trial to assess whether standardised enteral feeding in newborns with duct dependenty congenital heart disease decreases the risk of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC). The investigators plan to include a total 384 infants. The study will be carried out in three level III hospitals in Poland. The primary end will be NEC and/or death. Secondary end points include weight gain, hospital length of stay, time required to reach full feeding.
