Summary
This study tested a gentle mouth exercise called PIOMI on 32 preterm babies born between 26-30 weeks. Half got the exercise twice a day for a week, while the other half received standard care. Researchers measured how well the babies breastfed, how much weight they gained, and how long they stayed in the hospital. The goal was to see if this simple intervention could improve feeding and shorten hospital stays.
