Skin-to-Skin and Mom's voice may help preemies thrive
NCT ID NCT07045402
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact) with a mother's voice and a specific fetal position can improve comfort, growth, and the ability to feed by mouth in preterm infants born at 30-34 weeks. Sixty-eight babies will be split into two groups: one receiving the full intervention and one receiving only the fetal position. Researchers will measure comfort levels, weight gain, and how quickly babies transition from tube feeding to full oral feeding.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact) combined with maternal storytelling and fetal positioning
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help preterm babies feel more comfortable, grow better, and transition to oral feeding sooner.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 68 infants, so results may not apply to all preterm babies. The intervention is non-invasive, so risks are minimal, but the benefits may be modest.
