Study Summary

This study will compare if using a continuous milk warmer to warm breast milk compared to the standard method of warming breast milk in a hot water bath improves weight gain and feeding tolerance in infants born at 32 weeks gestation or less over a ten-day period. The standard method does not keep the breast milk at a consistent temperature during the feeding. A continuous milk warmer maintains the breast milk at body temperature throughout the feeding. It is unknown which method improves weight gain and feeding tolerance in very low birth weight infants.
