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 a wearable sensor that may help breastfeeding mothers track milk production. Participants will use the device and a phone app for 15 days and express milk for comparison.
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 study looks at whether expressing breastmilk before a premature birth can help you build up a milk supply and provide your baby with your milk early. It involves learning to hand express or pump during your pregnancy while you are at risk of delivering early.
This trial tests a breastfeeding education program that uses a web portal and a mobile app to provide counseling. It aims to help pregnant women who plan to breastfeed, offering digital tools to support them.
