Positive feeding for preterm infants
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to help preterm babies learn to eat better. It aims to make feeding a positive experience and support the baby's development.

This study tests optimized early feeding and nutrition plans for babies born very early (before 32 weeks of pregnancy or weighing less than 1500 grams). The goal is to help these fragile infants grow better and stay healthier during their first weeks of life.
This study tests whether gentle touch and guided movement (tactile/kinesthetic stimulation) can help premature babies move toward safe oral feeding. It’s designed for babies who are stable after breathing support and whose care team has already decided to try feeding by mouth.
This trial looks at how premature babies (born between 28 and 31 weeks, 6 days) who weigh 1000–1500 grams grow and handle their feedings. It only includes babies who are exclusively fed their mother's milk or donor human milk and who don't have serious health problems at the start.
This trial tests different ways to give milk feeds to preterm babies who are already eating fully by mouth. The goal is to find the best feeding schedule to help them grow and thrive.
This study compares different feeding plans for babies born before 29 weeks to see which one lowers the risk of a serious gut problem called NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis), improves survival, and helps brain development. It tests whether starting with donated breast milk or special formula affects outcomes.
This study looks at whether giving a child nutrition through a tube affects how parents and children interact. The goal is to see if the feeding approach helps parent-child connection and daily interaction.
