NCT ID NCT05272956
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether allowing parents to push a syringe for their premature baby's tube feeding (instead of using a machine) helps them spend more time in the neonatal intensive care unit. 72 babies born between 30 and 34 weeks were included. The main goal was to compare the average hours parents were present between the two feeding methods.
