OBJECTIVE: We examined the effects of cheek and jaw support on the feeding ability of inefficient feeders born prematurely.
METHOD: Twenty preterm infants served as their own controls. Each infant received either intervention (feeding with oral support) or control (feeding without oral support) for 2 consecutive feedings per day on 2 consecutive days.
RESULTS: Infants displayed a greater intake rate during the intervention feedings, both during the first 5 min (p = .046) and throughout the entire feeding (p = .023). The percentage of leakage during the first 5-min feeding was smaller in the intervention condition than in the control condition (p = .040). No significant differences were found between the two conditions in the sucking, physiological, and alertness variables.
CONCLUSION: Findings confirm oral support as a safe and effective strategy to improve the feeding performance of preterm infants who are poor feeders.
