Summary
This study tested whether a pulsating pacifier (NTrainer) helps extremely preterm infants (born before 29 weeks) develop better feeding skills compared to a regular pacifier. Researchers also checked how the babies' genes changed in their saliva. The goal was to find a personalized way to speed up oral feeding and improve growth and brain development by 18 months of age.
