There are various methods to generate the pressure needed for Nasal CPAP. Some neonatal intensive care units (NICU) use an underwater bubbling system and others use a ventilator to generate the pressure. There is no right or wrong way to generate the pressure and both methods are approved and accepted.~The aim of this study is to compare the two systems of Nasal CPAP by placing the baby on each for a defined time period and reviewing the infant's vital signs. The investigators expect that the pressure generated by bubble CPAP will be better and lead to improved vital signs.
