First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท 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.
