“…Individual health care provider-driven feeding methods vary in terms of when to begin, how often to provide oral feedings, and the volume of oral feedings. Infant-driven feeding methods are individualized according to the infants' behaviors and are variously described as ad libitum, semi-on demand, on demand, or cue based (McCormick, Tosh, & McGuire, 2010).…”

“…A Cochrane Review team synthesized eight small, randomized clinical trials in which infant-driven feeding protocols were compared with health care provider-driven feeding protocols for relatively healthy preterm infants (McCormick et al, 2010). Among the studies, outcomes were mixed for the number of days from first to full oral feedings, PMA at discharge, average daily weight gain, and volume of feedings taken orally.…”

“…Therefore, the infant determines the duration and volume of intake. 40 The demand feeding starts in response to the infant's hunger cues, but ends when a prescribed volume of intake is reached. This strategy is more suited to supplemental tube feeding or bottle-feeding, than to breastfeeding as volume of intake cannot be regulated for breastfeeding.…”

“…This strategy is more suited to supplemental tube feeding or bottle-feeding, than to breastfeeding as volume of intake cannot be regulated for breastfeeding. 40 For semi-demand feeding, the infant's hunger cues are assessed at scheduled intervals and the infant is offered a prescribed volume feeding when hunger cues are noted. Allowing preterm infants to dictate the timing and duration of oral feeding may result in longer rest periods between some feedings and promote infant-determined sleep and wake patterns, which reduce unnecessary energy expenditure, increase the total nutrient intake, and increase growth rates.…”

Breast and bottle-feeding are areas of concern in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The clinical issues encompass the typically developing preterm infant, who requires special supports to develop the skills needed for successful oral feeding, and the preterm and term infants with dysphagia, who, when able, require specialized assessment and treatment strategies to facilitate the maturation of sucking behaviors and transition to oral feeding. Research is increasingly addressing the development from non-nutritive to nutritive sucking, maturation of typical and atypical nutritive sucking in young infants, as well as assessment strategies and treatment supports for emerging sucking and remediation of feeding or swallowing problems. There continue to be gaps in the available information. These gaps are filled by expert opinion and clinical experience. However, an increase of clinically relevant, databased information is promising. The primary goals of treatment in this population are to facilitate transition from tube to oral feeding and advance sucking skills sufficiently to support needs for nutrition and hydration as the infant grows. The purpose of this article is to review the recent research that has provided an evidence base for clinical practice. The discussion includes research and practice for the use of clinical and instrumental assessments, and for therapeutic interventions selected to prepare the infant for nipple feeding and to support the infant and improve sucking competencies during oral feeding.
