Video and photo support during milk pumping for NICU mothers
This study tests whether showing mothers photos, videos, and live images of their baby during milk pumping can improve the milk-feeding process for babies in the NICU. If you can’t breastfeed and you use a smart phone, this could be helpful and give a more personal connection to your baby while you pump.
Eskişehir, EskişehirAges 1 day–4 weeks - NCT05398367Recruiting
Supplement study to help low milk supply during breastfeeding
This study tests whether a supplement (either an active “galactagogue” or a placebo) can increase milk supply in people who feel they have low breast milk. You would have several check-ins and milk/milk-expression measurements to see if your milk volume changes.
Rock Hill, South CarolinaAges 18–40 - NCT06691932Recruiting
Breastfeeding vs. Pumped Milk: Infant Nutrition Study
This study compares the health and development of babies who feed directly at the breast versus those who get pumped breast milk. It aims to understand how different ways of feeding human milk affect infant nutrition and growth.
Rochester, New YorkAges birth–40 years - NCT04447742Recruiting
Study of how healthy babies’ gut microbes develop from birth
This study follows pregnant people from about 20 weeks until delivery, to understand how gut microbes (tiny organisms in the intestines) develop in healthy babies. It may help researchers learn how early-life gut development affects health later on.
BernAges 18–45 - NCT06929091Recruiting
Breastfeeding help for women with higher weight
This study tests if expressing milk before birth and following a meal plan after birth helps women with higher weight breastfeed longer. You may join if you are pregnant, interested in breastfeeding, and live in Central Arkansas.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06706115Recruiting
Testing breast milk nasal drops in preterm babies
This study tests whether putting a few drops of breast milk into a preterm baby's nose can help their brain get more oxygen. It is for babies who are not yet ready to feed all by mouth and who don't have certain health problems.
KonyaAges 6 months–9 months - NCT06042803Recruiting
Study on medicine levels in breastmilk
This study looks at how medicines pass into breastmilk. It helps understand the safety of medications while breastfeeding. If you take medicine and breastfeed, this study may be an option for you.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT05813184Recruiting
Prenatal antibiotics and breast milk effects on newborn immunity
This study looks at how taking antibiotics during late pregnancy affects a baby’s early immune protection, with breastfeeding as an important factor. You may be able to join if you plan to breastfeed and either received antibiotics for at least 7 days after 32 weeks or did not receive such antibiotics during pregnancy.

Wearable breast pump study for mothers of premature babies
This study tests if wearable, wireless breast pumps help mothers of premature infants express milk more often and effectively. Participants will be randomly assigned to use either a wearable pump or a standard hospital pump.
Austin, TexasAges Any age - NCT06673160Recruiting
Increasing breast milk production for mothers of premature babies
This study tests whether a special pumping schedule helps mothers of very premature babies (born before 32 weeks) produce more breast milk. It is designed for babies born weighing less than 1500 grams and who are cared for at our hospital.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT07612267RecruitingPhase 4
Mirikizumab Levels in Breast Milk During Treatment
This study measures how much of the medication mirikizumab passes into breast milk when mothers take it for their approved medical condition. The goal is to understand if it's safe for breastfeeding infants when mothers are receiving this treatment.
Glenview, IllinoisAges 3 weeks+ - NCT05183165Recruiting
Study measures copper levels in breast milk for Wilson’s disease
This study measures how much copper is present in breast milk in people with Wilson’s disease. It aims to provide safer guidance for breastfeeding during treatment, including during pregnancy.

Exercise in heat and breast milk study
This trial tests how a short bout of exercise in a warm environment affects breast milk production and composition. It could help understand safe exercise for breastfeeding mothers.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for breast milk expression?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting breast milk expression studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a breast milk expression trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a breast milk expression trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
