Summary
This study looks at whether giving breast milk mouth care to newborns with gastroschisis (a rare abdominal wall defect) can help them tolerate feedings sooner and reduce infections. Researchers will compare babies who receive breast milk mouth care to those who get sterile water. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach improves gut health and speeds recovery.
