Smart pacifier & spit tests aim to help tiniest babies learn to eat

NCT ID NCT02696343

Summary

This study tested if a special vibrating pacifier (the NTrainer) could help extremely premature babies learn to feed by mouth faster and better. Researchers also checked babies' saliva for genetic markers to understand how feeding skills develop. The goal was to see if this combined approach improved feeding, growth, and development by 18 months of age.
