Increasing breast milk production for mothers of premature babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby weighed less than 1500 grams (about 3 pounds 5 ounces) at birth.
- If your baby was born at another hospital, they were transferred to our hospital within the first 48 hours of life.
- The mother is not critically ill and is at least 18 years old.
- Your baby does not have a major birth defect, chromosome problem, or serious infection from birth, and doctors are not limiting care due to a life-threatening condition.

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.
This trial tests whether feeding extremely premature babies (born at 28 weeks or earlier) a higher-energy breast milk diet in the first two weeks of life can reduce the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a serious lung condition. It aims to find a safe and effective way to support lung development in these tiny infants.
This study tests whether a special human milk diet helps very preterm babies grow better. It compares two types of human milk fortifiers to see which one leads to healthier growth.
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 study tests a better way to help parents pump breast milk more efficiently. It also looks at how the body makes milk. It may help you breastfeed longer and with less hassle.
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.
