The relationship of mealtime communication and oral-motor feeding skills to later language skills in premature infants [PDF]
, 2008 Both clinical and theoretical assumptions exist across disciplines which suggest that early feeding skills may be precursors to later speech and language skills. An additional question that has remained unclear is whether an altered trajectory of early feeding and oral motor skills development sets an infant on a path for altered or disordered speech ...

Development of infant oral feeding skills: what do we know? [PDF]
Am J Clin Nutr, 2016 The hospital discharge of premature infants in neonatal intensive care units is often delayed due to their inability to feed by mouth safely and competently. With immature physiologic functions, infants born prematurely cannot be expected to readily feed by mouth at the equivalent age of a third trimester of gestation as the majority of their term ...
