Lullaby pacifier aims to speed feeding for tiniest babies

NCT ID NCT05446389

Summary

This study tested whether a special pacifier that plays music when a baby sucks on it could help premature infants with chronic lung problems learn to feed by mouth. Very premature babies who needed breathing support were randomly assigned to either use the musical pacifier or receive standard care. Researchers wanted to see if the device helped babies transition from tube feeding to bottle or breast feeding faster, potentially shortening their hospital stay.
