Mothers' Own Milk Optimization for Preterm Infants Project (MoMO PIP) Pilot Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The overall goal of this study is to assess maternal vitamin D status along with diet, and milk composition, and in turn, to evaluate if infant vitamin D status can be improved with increased maternal supplementation and diet education. The central hypothesis is that by maximizing maternal vitamin D status in breastfed, preterm infants (<35 weeks), there will be an increase infant 25(OH)D status at 1,2, and 3 months of age.
