Can raising a premature baby's feeding from 19cc to 30 cc play a part in the baby getiting necrotizing enterocolitis?

Unlikely: Nec (necrotizing enterocolitis) affects mainly prematurely born infants who sustained hypoxic insult. Early introduction of oral feeding seems precipitate the development of nec, not the increase of oral intake.
