Sodium awareness study for breastfeeding moms of preemies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether tracking sodium levels in breast milk can help mothers of preterm babies improve their milk supply. If you are a new mom who gave birth before 35 weeks and plan to pump for at least two weeks, this trial may help you learn more about your milk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether an oral supplement called nicotinamide riboside can increase milk output in mothers of extremely premature babies. If it works, it may help you provide enough breast milk for your baby’s early NICU needs.
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.
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 trial tests if expressing breastmilk before your baby is born is helpful for women at high risk of preterm birth. It aims to improve breastfeeding success for you and your premature baby.
This trial tests whether adding sodium and fortified milk to nutrition helps very premature babies grow stronger and develop healthier body composition. Researchers will measure growth and body fat over time to see if these additions improve outcomes.
This study tests whether mindfulness and meditation education helps mothers in the NICU produce more breast milk. If you join, you'll learn relaxation techniques and track your pumping routine.
