For babies born less than 30 weeks, feeding will start at 15 cc per kilogram of body weight per 24 hours and increase to a maximum of 25 cc per kilogram of body weight per 24 hours on the second day and then It will be increased by 15 cc per kilogram of body weight twice a day

Sample size
Target sample size: 30
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
According to the size of the samples, 30 babies will be identified by random block method with 4 blocks and using random numbers table of Random Allocation Software. Blocking and allocation sequence for concealment will be done by a person not involved in the research. The allocation ratio of the samples will be 1:1 and it will be divided into two groups receiving the product of biofermentation company and the control group. This study is double-blind and blinding will take place
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Before the start of the study, solution A and B will be provided to the study administrator by Biot Khamtir, who will be the participant, researcher, healthcare personnel (doctors, nurses), clinical supervisor, and outcome evaluator until the end of the study. Except for the manufacturer of the solution, they are blind and do not know which of the mentioned solutions is drug or non-drug.

Other design features
In the clinical trial studies, using the tables for the preparation of samples, considering five items, which include: 1- The difference in treatment responses that should be taken 2- The estimation of the amount of treatment responses in one of the groups under research 3- The amount of significant difference Statistics (α), 4- the desired strength of the research (β-1) and 5- whether the experiment is one-sided or two-sided, the sample size in each group is estimated.In this study, the researcher expects a 30% difference in milk tolerance in the two intervention and control groups, and considering the 10% milk tolerance [R1] in the control group and considering the type 1 error (α) of 0.05 and the power of the study (β-1) 80% and taking into account one-sided tests in examining the difference and relationship between groups, the sample size is 30 people in each group and taking into account 30% dropout (n*0.1.1 3), 43 people will be examined in each group.

Title and more details about the data/document
In double-blind randomized studies, the use of random sampling methods is not very important, and in these studies, based on the available cases, a method called randomization is used to investigate the causality, so that the two groups are similar in terms of intervening factors and The effect of the intended intervention can be easily checked.In this study, out of all the premature babies admitted to the hospital, taking into account the entry and exit criteria, 86 babies were allocated to two control groups (receiver of placebo) and intervention (receiver of BB care probiotic) by random block method with the help of a computer program. they did; It should be noted that the manufacturer of both groups (control and intervention) is bio-fermentation, which by providing two solutions A and B, until the end of the project, the nature of the solutions (drug and placebo) is unknown even to the project manager.In this study, the doctors involved (specialist neonatologists working in Bent Al-Hadi Hospital who are responsible for treatment from the beginning to the end) in the study and the statistical analyzer will not have knowledge of the type of milk that was given to the babies.
