Concentrating breast milk for premature babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a device that makes breast milk more concentrated so premature babies get more nutrients from smaller amounts. It may help babies born between 32 and 35 weeks grow better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 32 and 35 weeks of pregnancy

- Your baby is getting your breast milk
- Your baby starts feeding within 2 days of birth
- Your baby needs extra nutrients added to milk (called fortification) within 5 days of birth

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 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 adding extra nutrients (fortification) to human milk helps very low birth weight or preterm babies grow better in the NICU.
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 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.
