Feeding intolerance study for preterm infants
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at feeding problems in preterm babies (born before 37 weeks). It aims to understand how to better manage feeding intolerance in the first month of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if giving lactase enzyme supplements helps preterm babies (born at or before 32 weeks) tolerate their feedings better. If your baby was born early and started feeding within the first few days of life, this study may be a good fit.
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 study tests if a simple stool test and a heart monitor can help predict a serious gut infection (necrotizing enterocolitis) in preterm babies who have trouble feeding. If successful, it could help doctors start treatment earlier.
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 tests whether a gentle mouth care routine combined with a special feeding schedule helps preterm babies start eating by mouth more quickly and gain weight. It is designed for stable preterm infants born at 29-33 weeks.
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.
