Brief summary: The objective of the study is to compare supplementation with vitamin D at 800 IU/day to usual care for the first 28 days after birth with respect to 25 (OH) vitamin D levels and indicators of likely or plausible effects of vitamin D supplementation on the function or structure of the lung, bones, immune system, and brain in extremely premature (EP) infants who are \<28 weeks gestational age (GA) or \<1000 grams of birth weight (BW). The study results will be analyzed as intention to treat Bayesian analyses (Frequentist analyses will also be performed).


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Infants born at \< 28 weeks gestational age (GA) or \<1000 grams birth weight (BW)
* Inborn
* Informed written consent in an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved manner

Exclusion Criteria:

* GA \>32 weeks regardless of birth weight (BW)
* Any major congenital anomaly
* A known congenital nonbacterial infection
* Prenatal diagnosis of disorders that affect vitamin D absorption (e.g, cystic fibrosis)
* Such severe illness or immaturity that the attending neonatologist judges intensive care to be unjustified.
