“…Olfactory and gustatory stimulations can improve preterm neonates' feeding performance and facilitate transition from tube to oral feeding (Khodagholi et al, 2018). The main role for the neonatal nurses is accurate assessment of neonatal feeding readiness and thoughtful progression to full oral feeding (Nassar et al, 2021). Nurses can play an important role in enhancing oral feeding skills through combined olfactory and gustatory stimulations during preterm neonates' routine care.…”

Prematurity is associated with feeding difficulties which remain a challenge for the neonatal nurses. Reaching full enteral feeding and increased weight are eligible criteria for sniffing away feeding tube and discharging from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). So, incorporating innovative olfactory and gustatory stimulations would enhance the preterm neonates' oral feeding abilities. Consequently, it leads to sniffing away the feeding tube, improve full enteral feeding and weight. Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of olfactory and gustatory stimulations on preterm neonates' feeding progression and sniffing away feeding tube. Research design: A quasi-experimental design was used.

Present study was done to know the effect of Oral Motor Therapy on preterm infants for feeding and related issues. Most preterm infants have low body weight, immature brain development, sucking and swallowing problems, and decreased oral motor ability, which affects infants' growth and normal development. Oral Motor Therapies are used to increase functional strength and control of movement for feeding, to promote the onset of oral feeding, and to improve oral feeding performance. The study started with the search articles on Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Cochrane and PubMed with keywords in range of year 2012-2023. 250 articles were found from the sources. 46 articles were studied which were related to aim of the study. From all of them 10 articles were selected on the basis of inclusion criteria. All the articles suggested improvement in all the post intervention outcomes which showed clinical significance of the Oral Motor Therapy. The study hereby concluded that Oral Motor Therapy is useful in preterm infants for feeding initiation and progression, weight gain as well as in dysphagia rehabilitation and reduced hospital stay.
