NCT03552510 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Mother's milk does not come in contact with the oropharyngeal pouch of preterm infants during gavage feeding. We hypothesized that stimulation of the oropharyngeal pouch using small amount of the mother's milk 5 minutes before initiation of regular gavage feeding will increase the level of GIT hormones.

Conditions

  • Preterm Infant
  • Feeding Disorder Neonatal
  • Gastrointestinal Motility Disorder

Interventions

PROCEDURE
