Tiny ear zaps could help fragile newborns master breastfeeding

NCT ID NCT06417385

Summary

This study is testing whether a gentle, tingling electrical stimulation on a baby's ear, given during breastfeeding, can help them learn the feeding skills of latching, sucking, and swallowing more effectively. It will involve 10 premature or sick term infants in the NICU who are struggling to breastfeed. The goal is to see if this paired stimulation improves feeding success and helps more babies go home breastfeeding.
