Infants’ ability to orally consume all feedings while maintaining physiological stability and weight gain is necessary for their discharge.

متن کاملProspective study of non-nutritive sucking and feeding skills in premature infants.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present work was to assess the value of non-nutritive sucking (NNS) measures as predictors of oral feeding performance in comparison to other putative predictors of feeding skills: respiratory support, post-menstrual age (PMA) at birth and the neonatal oral motor assessment score (NOMAS). METHODS This was a prospective, observational study. Cox proportional hazards an...
