      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Other, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: In order to homogenize the patients in terms of the intervening variables of mechanical ventilation (invasive-non-invasive) and type of nutrition (breast milk-formula) and to create a balance in the number of samples allocated to each of the studied groups, sampling method was used by random sampling. It is stratified block randomization. So that before starting the study, we first adjust the number of floors based on different levels of two qualitative variables. In this study, we will have 4 floors as follows.
First class: patients who have aggressive ventilation and breast milk feeding.
Second class: patients who have non-invasive ventilation and breast milk feeding.
Third class: patients who have non-invasive ventilation and formula nutrition.
Fourth class: patients who have aggressive ventilation and formula nutrition.
We consider the sample size of each tier to be 75 to achieve a sample size of 300. For each class separately, we perform randomized block sampling. We consider the capacity of the blocks as 4 and then we write all the possible permutations for this block, which are defined as follows.
(1: ABAB) and (2: AABB) and (3: BBAA) and (4: BABA) and (5: ABBA) and (6: BAAB)
By means of a dice, we choose one of the numbers 1 to 6 and consider the corresponding block. For example, if the first random selection of block 5 is selected, the first person will receive treatment A, the second and third persons will receive treatment B, and the fourth person will receive treatment A. To reach a sample size of 75 per stratum, we continue this process 19 times. After selecting all the blocks, we randomly assign index A to one of the treatment groups. At the end, we merge the samples of all classes together and use the total sample for analysis, Blinding description: The placebo drop is used against the drug with the same packaging, with non -sequential coding for people who do not have access to the key. Parents of the neonate and doctor or indicator nurse have been blinded and will be contacted by the original researcher if needed, and at the end of the study and completion of the questionnaires, they will be identified by the code.</study_design>

In this study, infants with very low birth weight from the first day of birth in the first 24 hours and once a day, before or after feeding with milk (in breastfeeding intervals) and for 14 days in the probiotic intervention group (containing Bifidobacterium lactis 3 5*100000000 colony forming units (CFU) and Bifidobacterium infantis 3.5*100000000 CFU and Streptococcus thermophilus 3*100000000 CFU) which is prepared in 700 mg sachets with maltodexerin and is 5 drops per day. It should be mentioned that this product is made by Farabiotic company. Intervention 2: Control group: administration of placebo in babies with very low birth weight. In this study, babies with very low birth weight from the first day of birth, in the first 24 hours and once a day, before or after feeding with milk (in breastfeeding intervals) and for 14 days in the control group, placebo (containing maltodextrin, which is The color, smell and taste are completely similar to the medicine) which is prepared in 700 mg sachets and is prescribed in the amount of 5 drops.
