Summary
This study tests whether a supplement called nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3) can help mothers of premature or sick babies in the NICU produce more breast milk. About 40 mothers will receive either the supplement or a placebo for several weeks. The goal is to see if the supplement is practical and increases milk volume.
