How IV fluids before birth affect newborn weight loss
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether giving IV fluids to mothers before delivery affects how much weight healthy, full-term newborns lose in their first days of life. It is for mothers who feed their baby only formula in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born full-term (at least 37 weeks)
- You had a single baby (not twins or more)
- You are 18 years or older
- You are only feeding your baby formula (no breastfeeding) in the hospital for the first 2 days
- You did not need extra IV fluids for a health problem in the 12 hours before giving birth
- Your baby does not have a kidney problem or a cleft lip/palate

This study looks at how very small premature babies (born early and weighing less than 4.4 pounds at discharge) do after they go home. It helps doctors understand what support families need.
This trial tests a way to give emergency medication through the umbilical cord (the tube that connects mother and baby) in newborns who need immediate resuscitation. It aims to see if this method works better than other ways of giving medication during a crisis.
This study tests whether adding extra nutrients (fortification) to human milk helps very low birth weight or preterm babies grow better in the NICU.
This trial compares giving less fluid versus the usual amount to very early preterm babies to see if it helps prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a chronic lung condition. The goal is to find the safest way to manage fluids and protect their developing lungs.
This trial tests whether giving an omega-3 fat medicine through an IV (along with standard care) improves breathing and blood-flow problems in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and persistent pulmonary hypertension. It may help reduce strain on the lungs and heart by targeting inflammation and blood-vessel changes.
This study looks at how a mother's weight (body mass index) may affect the baby's breathing and oxygen levels during delivery. It is a simple, observational study—no extra treatments or medications are given—just careful monitoring during labor.
