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.

This study tests a different way to secure the breathing tube in preterm babies on a ventilator. It may help reduce skin problems or unplanned tube removal in the NICU.
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 trial is testing whether a soft abdominal binder (a wrap around the belly) helps premature babies who need breathing support through a mask or prongs. It aims to make breathing easier and more comfortable for these tiny infants.
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 tests a small, portable vital sign monitor for newborns right in the delivery room. It may be an option for babies born at 35 weeks or later who are healthy and stable after birth.
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.
