Testing a device to concentrate mother's milk for premature babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that concentrates (thickens) a mother's own milk to give premature babies better nutrition in the hospital. The goal is to help babies born between 32 and 34 weeks gain weight and develop better during their NICU stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born between 32 and 34 weeks of pregnancy and weighs more than 1500 grams (about 3.3 pounds)
- You plan to give your baby your own breast milk (not donor milk or formula only)
- Feeding must start within 48 hours after birth
- Your baby's doctors have ordered fortification or supplementation (adding nutrients) within 5 days of birth
- You have enough of your own milk to concentrate by day 5 after birth
- Your baby will stay in the hospital for at least 14 days and won't transfer to another hospital

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 a device that analyzes breast milk from mothers of premature infants. It aims to make sure the milk has the right nutrients, especially when adding fortifiers to help tiny babies grow.
This study looks at whether adding a special fortifier to a preterm baby’s mother’s breast milk helps the baby grow and develop. It compares how babies do when they receive fortified human milk during the early hospital period.
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 trial looks at how premature babies (born between 28 and 31 weeks, 6 days) who weigh 1000–1500 grams grow and handle their feedings. It only includes babies who are exclusively fed their mother's milk or donor human milk and who don't have serious health problems at the start.
