Can a protein boost in breast milk help tiniest babies thrive?
NCT ID NCT04325308
Summary
This study is testing whether adding extra protein to breast milk helps extremely premature babies gain more healthy, lean body weight and develop a healthier mix of gut bacteria. Researchers are comparing babies who get the protein-enriched milk to those who get standard breast milk during their first two weeks of life. The goal is to see if this simple dietary change can improve growth and gut health in these vulnerable infants.
