B vitamins in preterm babies
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at levels of B vitamins in babies born early (before 37 weeks). It aims to see if current vitamin supplements are enough for preterm babies, which might help improve their nutrition and growth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Born before 37 weeks of pregnancy
- Care at one of the participating hospital units
- Baby is taking full milk feeds (by mouth or feeding tube)
- No known or suspected genetic, metabolic, or major birth defects

This study tests whether early infant nutrition using specific micronutrients (small amounts of key vitamins and nutrients) can support healthy growth and development. It includes babies whose moms plan to breastfeed for long enough, and it excludes infants with serious health problems.
This study looks at how different types of feeding affect the gut of very preterm babies when they receive a blood transfusion. If your baby qualifies, the team will do extra monitoring and ultrasound scans to learn more about gut health during transfusions.
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.
This study tests whether taking a vitamin A supplement while you are breastfeeding can increase the amount of vitamin A in your breast milk. Vitamin A is important for your preterm baby's growth and development, and this trial aims to see if it helps.
This study looks at vitamin A levels in cord blood (blood from the umbilical cord after birth) and how they relate to health outcomes for babies born very early (before 32 weeks). Participating may help researchers understand if vitamin A affects prematurity complications.
This study tests a special nutrition plan for babies born before 32 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to find the best way to feed these tiny newborns to help them grow and develop.
