Summary

This study looked at whether a swaddle blanket with a gentle abdominal band can reduce acid reflux, breathing pauses, heart rate drops, and low oxygen levels in premature infants. About 50 babies in the NICU were observed to see if the blanket helped. The goal was to find a simple, non-drug way to manage reflux symptoms.
