Summary

This study tests whether a soft, FDA-approved belly band can help strengthen the abdominal muscles of premature babies who need breathing support (CPAP). Researchers will measure muscle thickness with ultrasound and see if babies reach full oral feeding earlier. About 40 infants born between 26 and 31 weeks will take part.
