The aims of this pilot are to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the Multisensory early oral administration of human milk (M-MILK) intervention, recruitment, retention, and obtain data for sample size estimation. This study will advance nursing science and practice because it will inform our R01 RCT to examine the efficacy of M-MILK to attenuate adverse effects of early life toxic stress in preterm infants.
