Official Title: Frequent Standardized Oral Care Using Human Milk to Prevent Oral Dysbiosis and Improve Health Outcomes in Premature Infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Brief Summary: Premature infants are susceptible to complications related to infrequent and non-standardized oral care.Although the benefits of frequent standardized oral care are known to reduce oral dysbiosis (increased level of potentially pathogenic bacteria) and its associated complications in critically ill adults leading to established evidence-based guidelines, no such information exists for VLBW infants.The proposed study will prospectively follow 168 VLBW infants for 4 weeks following birth.
