Study of Baby Weight Checks After Birth
This study watches when and how often newborn babies are weighed in the first days after birth. Researchers want to understand the best timing for these weight checks to help babies stay healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 16 years old or older

This study checks how a newborn’s body changes over time in an intensive care unit, using routine monitoring. Your child may benefit by being closely observed, and the results may help improve care for future newborns.
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 study registers newborns who are very small or born very early, to better understand their care and outcomes over time. If you have a newborn that fits the size or gestational age range and the baby is delivered at or transferred to the hospital, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether “kangaroo care” (skin-to-skin holding) affects how test weights are done for preterm babies in the NICU. It may help staff get more accurate weights and support parents during care.
This study follows babies born very early (before 27 weeks of pregnancy) who were treated at specialized neonatal centers. Researchers track their health and development over time to better understand how to care for extremely premature infants.
This study collects information about newborns who are small, early, or low weight to better understand their health and how to help them.
