A controlled trial of alternative methods of oral feeding in neonates

Alimentação do recém-nascido pré-termo: métodos alternativos de transição da gavagem para o peito materno

“…Inicialmente foram selecionados nove artigos, sendo oito estrangeiros [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] e um brasileiro. 13 Em seguida, foi realizada uma nova seleção considerando apenas os estudos randomizados, restando apenas quatro artigos.…”

Evaluation of Feeding Efficiency and Spillage in Preterm Infants during Bottle and Cup Feeding: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…In contrast, the study by Malhotra et al [14] noted that the volume of milk consumed by cup was higher when compared to the bottle. Their data are questionable, however, because the technique used to offer the milk determines how much is poured into the child's mouth.…”

“…We used the technique described by Lang, Lawrence and Orme (1994) [9], currently recommended in the literature, in which the milk touches the lower lip of the newborn and is ingested through an anteroposterior movement of the tongue. However, one study [14] that investigated the volume of milk ingested when offered by different methods gently poured milk from a cup into the infant's mouth, small amounts at a time. This pouring technique cannot efficiently assess the intake of milk because it will be biased by the examiner who administers the diet.…”

“…The time required to cup feed is often longer [13], which impacts nursing time. Spillage, however, can interfere with the accuracy of the volumes reported as consumed via cup feeding [13][14][15].…”

Avaliação eletromiográfica dos músculos faciais durante o aleitamento natural e artificial de lactentes: identificação de diferenças entre aleitamento materno e aleitamento com uso de mamadeira ou copo

“…6 Research in India has demonstrated very early capacity for efficient cup feeding in very preterm infants. 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.…”
