“…Our finding suggested that NNS program compared to pre-feeding oral stimulation program improved weight gaining at discharge time. These results was in contrast to the study from Lyu et al ( 17 ) and in line with those of Bernbaum et al ( 18 ). This difference may be explained by the different method used by these studies.…”

Background:The survival rates of preterm infants has increased over the last years, but oral feeding difficulties are the most common problems encountered by them Objectives:This study aimed at comparing the effects of non-nutritive sucking (NNS) and pre-feeding oral stimulation on feeding skills, length of hospital stay and weight gain of 26-32 weeks gestational age preterm infants in NICU, to determine the more effective intervention.Patients and Methods:Thirty-two preterm infants were assigned randomly into three groups. One intervention group received pre-feeding oral stimulation program and the other received non-nutritive sucking stimulation, while the control group received a sham intervention. Gestational age of infants was calculated during 1, 4 and 8 oral feeding and discharge time from NICU. The infants’ weights were measured weekly from birth and at discharge time.Results:Mean gestational age on 8 time oral feeding per day, in 3 groups was not significant (P = 0.282). Although NNS and pre-feeding oral stimulation groups has fulfilled this criterion 7.55 and 6.07 days sooner than the control group, respectively (a result which is of great clinical and economic importance), but the difference did not reach statistical significance. Weight gaining at discharge time in NNS group was significantly higher than control and pre-feeding oral stimulation groups (P < 0.05).Conclusions:This study revealed that pre-feeding oral stimulation and NNS programs both were effective on oral feeding skills and weight gaining of the immature newborns. Yet, it seems that NNS program was more effective than pre-feeding oral stimulation on weight gaining.

“…Therefore, therapeutic interventions to support oral motor skill competence could facilitate the acquisition of full oral feeding. Different oral stimulation strategies such as stroking lips, cheeks massage or non-nutritive sucking (NNS) have been used to enhance oral feeding skills (Measel and Anderson 1979, Fucile, Gisel et al 2002, Hwang, Vergara et al 2010, Lessen 2011, Lyu, Zhang et al 2014). Previous research suggests that oral motor interventions may shorten the time from introduction of oral feeding to independent oral feeding, by improving oral feeding performance in premature infants (Arvedson, Clark et al 2010, Lessen 2011, Tian, Yi et al 2015.…”

Background: A Survival rate in early preterm infants has increased over the last 30 years, but many of these infants have medical and developmental problems. Difficulty with feeding and poor nutrition complications are common, which contribute to their readmission and morbidity. Objective: To purpose of this study was to assess whether an oral motor stimulation intervention can decrease the time to achieve full oral feeding and shorten the length of hospitalization in preterm infants. Design and Methods: Seventy-five preterm infants born at 30 to ≤ 32 weeks gestational age were randomly assigned to three groups to assess intervention effects. Two groups received the intervention once per day with varying different intervention doses across time, while the control group received a sham intervention. Results:The time needed to reach full oral feeding was significantly different among groups (P <0.0001). Infants who received the intervention from initiation of tube feedings until full oral feeding (high dose) gained full oral feedings and were discharged from the hospital earlier than the low dose and control groups (P = 0.0001). Infants in the high dose group were discharged 6 days earlier than controls and 4 days earlier than the low dose group. Conclusion: Oral motor stimulation intervention accelerated the time to full oral feeding and decreased the length of hospital stay.

“…This finding is important not only for documenting the potential risks associated with mode and type of feeding practised in the NICU, but may also help nurses understand the immediate and long‐term problems faced by these LBW infants and mothers who supplied breast milk. Although parenteral nutrition and tube feeding can meet the early nutritional needs of premature babies, these are nonphysiological feeding methods that lead to the reduction in functional stimuli of the digestive system and result in a variety of adverse reactions (Lyu et al, ). Moreover, studies showed that nasogastric feeding for more than 2 weeks was independently associated with oral motor problems and later eating difficulties (Johnson et al., ).…”
