Summary

This study tested a special pacifier that plays a lullaby when a baby sucks correctly, helping premature infants with chronic lung disease learn to feed by mouth. About 33 babies born before 33 weeks were split into two groups: one used the lullaby pacifier, the other did not. The goal was to see if the lullaby pacifier helped babies switch from tube feeding to bottle or breast feeding faster.
