Background Non‐nutritive sucking (NNS) is used during gavage feeding and in the
transition from gavage to breast/bottle feeding in preterm infants to improve the development …

Background Preterm infants (< 37 weeks' post‐menstrual age (PMA)) are often delayed in
attaining oral feeding. Normal oral feeding is suggested as an important outcome for the …

Neonatal dysphagia, or abnormalities of swallowing, represent a major global problem, and
consequences of dysfunctional feeding patterns carry over into infancy and toddler age …

Objective: Feeding problems are an important area of neonatal morbidity that requires
attention. We defined the feeding milestones related to transition to per oral feeding among …
