Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
First, all mothers were asked to breastfeed as soon as possible and put it in a special sterile container. The nurse, who is familiar with the process, then takes the dishes from the mothers. The nurse, who is not present during the rest of the research, prepares colostrum syringes and distilled water, and each insulin syringe containing colostrum or distilled water is stamped with a large label that says the date of aggregation or distilled water and the baby's name. So that the content inside it is not clear and the neonatal nurse (clinical caregiver) does not understand and feeds each baby based on the syringe on which the baby's name is, and therefore is blinded in the process. Data analyzer is not aware of how to do the job.
