Psychometric properties of the oral feeding assessment in premature infants scale [PDF]
Professionals that work in neonatal units need to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the premature infant who is in the transition process from feeding through a gastric tube to oral feeding.

Introduction: One of the most challenging decisions is to assess the preterm infant’s transition from tube feeding to oral feeding. Thus, we require a reliable tool for determining the time to start oral feeding.

How do we determine oral readiness in infants? [PDF]
Determining oral feeding readiness in preterm infants is difficult and involves many aspects, including observations of behavioural state, physiological responses to the environment, oral skills and motor skills.

The purpose of this secondary analysis was to assess whether alert behavioral states were associated with an increased number of feeding readiness behaviors (FRBs) and whether the number of FRBs were associated with subsequent feeding efficiency in healthy premature infants born between 29 to 35 weeks gestation.The data were collected as part of a ...

Preterm newborn readiness for oral feeding: systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
PURPOSE: To identify and systematize the main studies on the transition from enteral to oral feeding in preterm infants. RESEARCH STRATEGY: Articles that describe the transition from oral to enteral feeding in preterm infants were located in MEDLINE, LILACS, and SciELO databases. SELECTION CRITERIA: Original studies, with available abstract, published
