Using the Bambi-Belt for very premature babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a special belt called the Bambi-Belt in extremely preterm babies (born before 26 weeks) during their first week of life. The goal is to see if the belt helps provide better care and monitoring. It may be an option for your baby if they are very early and do not have skin problems or need only comfort care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your baby was born before 26 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby is in their first week of life right now.

This study looks at whether doing skin-to-skin care right after birth in a “continuous” way works well for babies born a bit early (late preterm). If you’re eligible, you may be offered structured skin-to-skin time soon after a vaginal delivery, and the team will monitor how the baby and parent do.
This study tests whether a soft abdominal binder can help premature babies who need breathing support breathe more comfortably and may reduce the time they need the support. It is for babies born very early who are expected to need CPAP for at least two weeks.
This study tests a gentle swaddled bathing technique for babies born at 32–37 weeks of pregnancy. Researchers will measure whether this method keeps babies physically stable and comfortable during their first bath.
This study uses small wearable sensors to track your baby's movements and development. It is designed for infants who are at risk for delays due to conditions like premature birth, brain injury, or other medical issues.
This study tests whether holding your baby skin-to-skin (kangaroo care) and singing lullabies can help keep both your and your baby's heart rate and breathing steady, and may help lower your stress levels. If your baby was born early but is stable, this simple, comforting activity might be a safe way to bond and feel calmer.
This study tests a new belt that monitors pregnancy. The goal is to see if it works well and is easy to use. Pregnant women and their healthcare providers can join.
