Official title
Oropharyngeal Administration of Mother's Colostrum: Health Outcomes of Premature Infants
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Extremely premature (BW\<1250g) infants are at high risk for morbidity and mortality. Own mother's colostrum (OMC) and milk (OMM) protect against neonatal morbidity and are rich in immune factors which may provide immunostimulatory effects when administered oropharyngeally to extremely premature infants during the first weeks of life. The investigators hypothesize that infants who receive oropharyngeal mother's colostrum and milk will have significantly lower rates of infection and improved health outcomes, compared to infants who receive a placebo.
