Vitamin D supplements for preterm babies
This trial tests whether giving preterm babies (born at 28-34 weeks) a higher dose of vitamin D by mouth helps them grow and stay healthy. It may be an option if your baby is already feeding well and doesn't have certain other health problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy
- Your baby is able to drink at least 30 milliliters of milk per kilogram of body weight each day
- Your baby does not have a major birth defect, a blocked intestine, kidney failure, or a liver problem that blocks bile flow
