Summary
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation (taVNS) given during breastfeeding can help premature or sick newborns learn to breastfeed more effectively. Ten infants in the NICU will receive daily taVNS paired with breastfeeding for up to 14 days. Researchers will measure milk intake, feeding duration, and latch quality, and also ask parents about their satisfaction with their baby's feeding progress.
