Caffeine
Infants will receive a blinded dose of either placebo (IV normal saline) or IV caffeine citrate 20mg/kg infused over 10 minutes within the first 2 hours of life. They will receive a blinded dose of the opposite of what they received in the DR (placebo or caffeine) at 6 hours of life. Therefore, the intervention is timing of initial caffeine dose.
