What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of an 8-week mindfulness-based intervention focused on self-compassion and vitamin D supplementation on maternal stress and human milk composition in mothers of preterm infants. Participants will be block randomized into three groups: standard care, mindfulness intervention, or vitamin D supplementation. Maternal stress levels and self-compassion will be assessed using validated scales, and biological samples will be collected to analyze changes in human milk and infant health outcomes. The goal is to determine if these interventions can improve maternal well-being and infant health.
