Money for milk: study tests if cash help closes breastfeeding gap for tiniest babies

NCT ID NCT04540575

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether giving financial help to mothers of very low birth weight babies can increase the amount of breast milk these babies receive. Black mothers are more likely to have very small babies but less likely to provide their own milk, partly due to costs. The study enrolled 362 mothers and their infants to see if an economic intervention improves pumping and milk feeding rates at NICU discharge.
