简要总结
Feeding problems are the major issues in preterm infants. They have problems in coordinated sucking, swallowing and breathing which are essential components of successful feeding.
Feeding issues are related to gut immaturity, and neuromuscular incoordination leading to poor tolerance to enteral feeding. Feeding intolerance results in prolonged hospitalisation , increased risk of sepsis and predisposition to serious complications.
Stimulation is the best key to success in acheiving oral feeding performance and sustaining breast feeding.
There are several interventions which help in reducing feeding intolerance and time taken to acheive full oral feeding in preterm babies and enhance the nutritional and physiological status.
Tactile and Kinaesthetic stimulation improves the neuromotor development, emotional bonding, better sleep wake patterns , and increases the oral feeding skills.
