2.2.2. Eligibility Criteria
RECRUITMENT
All parents of infants born at less than 32 weeks of gestation and admitted to the NICU were approached by one of the research team members within the first week of life (as full enteral feeding is usually reached at a minimum of 7 days of life). Recruitment was conducted between June 2019 and June 2022. After obtaining written consent for participation in the trial, the patient’s medical record number was immediately registered on a secure web-based platform, and demographic data were recorded.
