Summary

This study tests whether giving extremely premature babies (born at 28 weeks or earlier) a special diet of fortified human milk with added DHA and ARA during their first two weeks of life can reduce lung damage and improve breathing. About 150 babies will take part, and researchers will measure how much breathing support they need at 36 weeks. The goal is to find a simple nutritional way to help prevent severe lung problems in these fragile infants.
