Cash for cuddles: study tests if money helps preemie moms visit more

NCT ID NCT06362798

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether giving weekly cash payments to low-income mothers of preterm babies can help them visit the NICU more often. The goal is to see if more visits lead to more breastfeeding and skin-to-skin care, which are good for the baby's health. About 420 mothers will take part, and the results will help understand how to reduce health gaps for these families.
