Enzyme supplement eases feeding troubles in preterm infants
NCT ID NCT07494123
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding lactase enzyme to milk feedings helps preterm babies (born before 34 weeks) digest better and gain weight. 124 infants received either lactase-supplemented or standard feedings for two weeks. Researchers tracked feeding tolerance, weight gain, and digestive symptoms to see if the enzyme reduces common feeding problems in premature infants.
