Group Intervention Description Pacifier only Pacifier Participants in the pacifier-only group will get a pacifier five minutes prior to tube feeding. During feedings, a pacifier will be employed. Five minutes following the end of tube feeding, the pacifier application will be discontinued. The vital signs will be monitored prior to, during, and following feeding. Two hours after the feeding has finished, the volume of gastric residue will be controlled. Pacifier with breast milk Breast milk Five minutes prior to tube feeding, participants in the pacifier with breast milk group will get their own breast milk dripping pacifier. During feedings, a pacifier will be employed. Five minutes following the end of tube feeding, the pacifier application will be discontinued. The vital signs will be monitored prior to, during, and following feeding. Two hours after the feeding has finished, the amount of gastric residue will be controlled.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Respiratory rate change 5 minutes before tube feeding, during tube feeding and 5 minutes after tube feeding Respiratory rate will be measured 5 minutes before tube feeding, during tube feeding and 5 minutes after the end of tube feeding.
Saturation level change 5 minutes before tube feeding, during tube feeding and 5 minutes after tube feeding Saturation level will be measured 5 minutes before tube feeding, during tube feeding and 5 minutes after the end of tube feeding.
Feeding duration measured with a stopwatch for 7 months. Each baby's tube feeding duration will be measured.
Gastric residual volume Gastric residue will be measured 2 hours after the end of infant feeding. Gastric residue will be measured 2 hours after the end of infant feeding.
Heart rate change 5 minutes before tube feeding, during tube feeding and 5 minutes after tube feeding Heart rate will be measured 5 minutes before tube feeding, during tube feeding and 5 minutes after the end of tube feeding.
