Cup-Feeding for Preterm Infants: Mechanics and Safety

Abstract: Cup-feeding is recommended for breastfed preterm infants to avoid artificial nipples. However, the oral mechanisms used in cup-feeding, or its safety and efficacy, have not been described. The authors measured sipping, breathing, SaO2, and volume of intake during 15 cup-feeding sessions for 8 infants (mean gestational age at birth was 30.6 weeks). Mean duration of sipping bursts and pauses was 3.6 seconds and 28.1 seconds, respectively. Mean breathing rate during bursts and pauses was similar (46.2 +/- 24.3 vs… Show more

“…6 Enquanto o leite é oferecido pelo copinho, o bebê controla o ritmo sucção/lambida, o que proporciona uma respiração adequada, fazendo com que a deglutição ocorra no momento certo. Como resultado, há um menor gasto de energia.…”

“…One should also recall that the risk of actual milk intake might be lower than required, due to losses caused by spilling. 105 Another alternative for the feeding of PTNB infants consists of an adaptation of the previously described relactation technique, in which the supply of expressed milk occurs via a tube connected to a syringe, with the other end connected to the nipple, to be introduced into the infant s mouth during the feeding. This way, there is some transition from the nasogastric tube to the breast, without the use of a cup, and the mother herself feeds the infant.…”

“…7,8 Preterm infants show more physiologic stability during cup feeding when compared with bottle feeding. [9][10][11] Preterm infants randomized to cup-feeding instead of bottle feeding were more likely to be discharged home with full breastfeeding. 12 For supplementation of term infants in maternity units, opinions vary.…”
