Influence of Full Oral Feeding Acquisition on Growth of Premature Infants [PDF]
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022 ObjectiveThe main objective was to describe the impact of full oral feeding achievement in very low birth weight infants on weight, length, and head circumference, measured as the change in z-score from 32 weeks to discharge, the time at which full oral ...

Early skin contact combined with mother’s breastfeeding to shorten the process of premature infants ≤ 30 weeks of gestation to achieve full oral feeding: the study protocol of a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Trials, 2021 Background Most hospitalized preterm infants experience difficulties in transitioning from tube feeding to full oral feeding. Interventions to promote full oral feeding in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are limited to pacifier

Effect of palady and cup feeding on premature neonates′ weight gain and reaching full oral feeding time interval [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Research, 2016 Background: Premature neonates′ feeding is of great importance due to its effective role in their growth. These neonates should reach an independent oral nutrition stage before being discharged from the Neonatal Intensive care Unit.

Impact of respiratory support on time to achieve full oral feeding in very low birth weight infants: a retrospective study [PDF]
Frontiers in PediatricsBackgroundVery low birth weight infants often require respiratory support, which may delay full oral feeding. The independent roles of invasive versus non-invasive support are unclear.

Safety and feasibility of a novel oesophageal stimulation protocol in modulating aerodigestive mechanisms and outcomes in infants at-risk for gastrostomy: a pilot studyResearch in context [PDF]
EClinicalMedicineSummary: Background: Safe, independent, and consistent oral feeding is critical before NICU discharge, and delays with eating milestones increases the risk of gastrostomy tube (G-Tube).
