Facilitate the Transition From Passive Feeding to Active Feeding in Preterm Infants Through Early Play

Completed

• Conditions: Immature Newborn; Feeding Behavior
• Interventions: Behavioral: Implementation of ALIJEU

• Registration Number: NCT03651258
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Creteil

Brief Summary

The approach described here is based both on theoretical concepts and on the work of several teams of researchers. By positioning the baby and the appropriate adult, a speech bath, a sustained look and an expressive face, it is hypothesized that this early communication exercise will significantly improve the transition from passive feeding, active feeding of the premature child, from a qualitative and quantitative point of view.
