Summary

This study looks at whether giving extra sodium (salt) to premature babies starting at least one week after birth helps them gain weight and grow better. The trial includes 74 preterm infants with low birth weight. Researchers will track their weight for six weeks and check for side effects like abnormal sodium levels.
