Circadian breast milk feeding and sleep in preterm infants
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether feeding preterm babies breast milk in a day-night cycle (more in the day, less at night) improves their sleep and development. It may help your baby settle into a healthier rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether planned overnight nutrition (through a feeding tube) can reduce sleep problems and daily body-clock disruption while you’re in the ICU after certain heart surgery. It may help you get more restful sleep and better regular “wake–sleep” timing during recovery.

This study looks at how gut bacteria and sleep patterns affect early childhood development. It tests a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) in premature and full-term babies to see if it improves their development and behavior.
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 a gentle mouth care routine combined with a special feeding schedule helps preterm babies start eating by mouth more quickly and gain weight. It is designed for stable preterm infants born at 29-33 weeks.
