Growth and feeding tolerance in premature infants
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how premature babies grow and handle feeding when they get breast milk or donor milk. It aims to find the best ways to feed preterm infants to help them gain weight and stay healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a special nutrient additive that goes into breast milk to help premature babies grow stronger. If your baby is very premature and fed human milk, this fortifier may help them get the extra calories and nutrients they need.
This study tests whether a special human milk diet helps very preterm babies grow better. It compares two types of human milk fortifiers to see which one leads to healthier growth.
This study tests whether adding extra nutrition (fortifying) to donated breast milk helps very premature infants grow better and safely. You might be offered a fortified donor milk feeding plan if your baby meets the timing and medical criteria.
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 an individualized nutrition plan based on weekly measurements can help preterm infants grow better and improve brain development compared to standard feeding. It is for babies born very early (32 weeks or less) who receive human milk.
This study tests whether adding extra nutrients (fortification) to human milk helps very low birth weight or preterm babies grow better in the NICU.
