RomaAges Any age - NCT06731439Recruiting
Starting feeds on day 1 for very small premature babies
This study is for very premature babies (weighing about 2 pounds or less) to see if starting small feedings on the first day of life helps them reach full feeds sooner. If your baby is very small and otherwise healthy, this option may help them grow faster.
