- Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: In this study, stratified sampling was used according to postmenstrual week (PW) and type of nutrition. In order to ensure homogeneity in the intervention and control groups, according to PW [28-(33+6)] and [34-35+6)], according to the type of nutrition [mixed nutrition (breast milk + formula milk)] and [breast milk] 4 layers were formed. Firstly, 56 preterm newborns were divided as random into intervention (group A) and control (group B). Groups A and B were stratified first to the PW, then according to the type of feeding. Permutation was also used to strike a balance between the strata. Block sets were generated for each combination of the prognostic factors (PW and type of nutrition). The intervention and control groups were then randomized into the strata using a random numbers table.Masking: Single (Outcomes Assessor)Primary Purpose: Supportive Care

It is known that nutrient odors stimulate the initiation of digestion. However, in preterm newborns who are fed by gavage or parenterally, exposure to the nutrient smell that initiates digestion disappears. For this reason, it is known that odor stimulation is applied to preterm newborns to improve nutrition. It is known that fragrances such as fragrant essential oils, the smell of breast milk, and amniotic fluid have positive effects such as shortening the transition time to oral feeding in preterm newborns, increasing nutritional tolerance and weight gain, increasing hunger symptoms, providing analgesic effect in painful procedures, and reducing hospital stay. However, no study was found to jointly evaluate the effect of odor stimulation with breast milk on early nutritional cues, transition time to oral nutrition and abdominal perfusion in preterm newborns.
