“…Nurses chose finger-feeding in this situation, considering that it promotes the development of oral skills, such as the correct positioning of the tongue and the stimulation of oral structures, similarly to breastfeeding. This is in line with what has been described by some studies, which mention that finger-feeding promotes a more physiological diet 18 and favors breastfeeding 19 .…”

Objective: to analyze nurses' perceptions about the feeding of preterm newborns and their motivations in using feeding methods during hospitalization in the neonatology unit. Method: descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out between July 2019 and January 2020, using semi-structured interviews with 30 nurses from a neonatology unit. The analysis of interview data was carried out using lexicographical textual analysis, the descending hierarchical classification, and similarity analysis through IRaMuTeQ - R Interface software. Results: 876 text segments were analyzed in the descending hierarchical classification, retaining 86.3% of the total for the creation of five classes that resulted from content participation. The similarity analysis of the words representing the nurses' perception about oral feeding and the choice of feeding method led to three central cores, represented by the words: think, give, bottle. Conclusion: Nurses recognize the importance of continuing education and training in the assessment of oral skills. The reason for choosing the feeding method is often based on criteria such as preference, speed, and ease.

“…Finger probe method is used during feeding as an option when there is no good compatibility with the cup [ 8 , 12 , 13 , 32 ]. Finger feeding is a safe method for preterm neonate’s, which can be recommended to accelerate the transition to breastfeeding, increase the rate of weight gain, and shorten the hospitalization period [ 18 ]. The evidence revealed that the finger feeding method requires more time and costs compared to the cup feeding method.…”

“…The weight gain of finger-fed neonate’s is more than that of syringe-fed neonate’s. Given the advantages of finger feeding method in terms of achieving oral feeding of preterm neonate’s, more convenience, and shorter hospitalization time, especially in the gestational age below 34 weeks, finger feeding is considered as a desirable method [ 13 , 17 , 18 , 33 ].…”

Background The oral nutrition is big challenge for preterm neonates. Since the best oral feeding method for preterm neonates is not yet known, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of cup, syringe, and finger feeding methods on reaching the time of full oral feeding and weight gain among preterm neonates. Method This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 99 preterm neonate’s, born at 30–34 weeks gestation, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Al-Zahra and Taleghani Therapeutic-Educational Centers in Tabriz, Iran. Subjects were assigned into finger feeding (n = 33), cup feeding (n = 33), and syringe feeding (n = 33) groups in the allocation ratio of 1:1:1 using block randomization with a block size 6 and 9. They were studied in terms of reaching the time of full oral feeding and weight gain. The data were analyzed using SPSS/version21 software, and ANOVA, chi-square, and ANCOVA tests. Results There was no significant difference in the mean score of reaching the time of full oral feeding among cup, finger, and syringe feeding groups (p = 0.652). The mean score of daily weight gain, oxygen saturation (SaO2), and heart rate after feeding was not significantly different among the three groups (p > 0.05). The effect of confounding variables, including birth weight and age, arterial oxygen saturation, and heart rate before feeding, was controlled. Conclusion Based on the results, one of the cup, finger, and syringe feeding methods can be applied in the NICU, considering the staff’s proficiency in feeding neonates. Trial registration IRCT20150424021917N11.

Оно ускоряет переход к ГВ и сокращает сроки госпитализации недоношенных детей [47]. Отсутствует разница в уровне сатурации и ЧСС у недоношенных детей, получавших докорм из чашки, и у детей, которых кормили с помощью пальцевого вскармливания.…”

Breastfeeding challenges in infants with nasal breathing difficulties: alternative supplemental feeding methods

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review article highlights the features of breastfeeding in case of obstructed nasal breathing in infants, special attention is paid to non-sucking or alternative methods of bottle feeding with expressed breast milk for the period when breastfeeding is not possible or formula supplementation is necessary as an addition to breastfeeding.Breathing through the mouth is considered a pathological adaptation due to difficulty in nasal breathing and is associated with the development of many pathological conditions. There is an evidence base that prolonged breastfeeding is associated with nasal breathing at an older age, as well as the correct formation of the bite. The anatomical and physiological features of the structure of the upper respiratory tract in infants predispose to a more frequent occurrence of difficult nasal breathing compared to adults, which causes difficulties in breastfeeding, up to the refusal of the child’s breast. Therefore, knowledge of modern methods of supplementary feeding with expressed breast milk for this period, as well as ways to effectively and safely deal with nasal congestion in infants, will help doctors and parents to overcome the difficult period of the disease, accompanied by nasal congestion without loss and maintain breastfeeding for as long as possible, in the light of modern data on influence of breast milk on the subsequent life of mother and child.The main method of treatment for nasal congestion of various etiologies is irrigation-elimination therapy. According to the literature, good tolerability and no side effects were found when using a nasal aspirator used in conjunction with isotonic saline.
