Summary

This study tests whether special mouth exercises and a feeding schedule based on the baby's natural body clock help preterm infants (born 29-33 weeks) learn to feed by mouth, gain weight, and transition to full oral feeding. Researchers will assess 54 stable preterm babies over 14 days. The goal is to improve feeding readiness and reduce time in the hospital.
