This study looked at whether adding human milk cream to breast milk or donor milk could help very low birth weight preterm infants (weighing 750-1250 grams) get enough calories to grow better. Researchers measured the calorie content of the milk and tracked the babies' weight, le…

This study tested a gentle mouth exercise called PIOMI on 32 preterm babies born between 26-30 weeks. Half got the exercise twice a day for a week, while the other half received standard care. Researchers measured how well the babies breastfed, how much weight they gained, and ho…

This study tested whether adding lactase enzyme to milk helps preterm babies (born before 34 weeks) digest better and gain weight. 124 infants received either lactase-supplemented or standard feeds for two weeks. Researchers tracked feeding tolerance, weight gain, and digestive s…

This study looked at whether a special bassinet that rocks and plays white noise (SNOO) helps preterm infants sleep more peacefully compared to a regular bassinet. Twenty premature babies each spent three hours in both types of bassinets, while researchers monitored their sleep s…

This study looked at 900 very low birth weight preterm babies to see if pasteurizing mother's milk (done when the mother has a common virus) changes their health outcomes. Researchers compared serious complications like infections and lung disease between babies fed raw or pasteu…
