Summary
This study looked at 121 extremely premature babies to see if a special pulsing pacifier (NTrainer) helps them learn to feed better compared to a regular pacifier. Researchers also checked the babies' saliva for gene changes related to feeding. The goal was to find a new way to help these tiny infants feed sooner and improve their growth and brain development.
