Avoidance of bottles during the establishment of breast feeds in preterm infants

Feeding Neonates by Cup: A Systematic Review of the Literature

“…One RCT in Australia reported extended hospital stays among cup fed infants relative to bottle fed infants(41), which has raised concern that cup-feeding increases cost and demand for limited resources. (22, 23, 41) However, the authors reported no difference in duration of hospital stay among those who complied with their assigned feeding method (p=0.27), and found that length of stay after supplemental feeding by cup or bottle was started was similar for infants fed by cup versus bottle (12 versus 11 days, p=0.05). (41)…”

Comparison of the Finger Feeding Method Versus Syringe Feeding Method in Supporting Sucking Skills of Preterm Babies

“…However, babies in Group 1 had lower median CnS scores after the feeds. Since lower CnS scores indicate higher comfort, we conclude that babies in Group 1 were more comfortable after the feeds (9 [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] for Group 1 versus 24 [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] for Group 2, p = 0.000) (Table 3).…”

Comparison of Effect of Feeding Premature Infants with Either Cup, Bottle, and Syringe on Transition to Breastfeeding, Breastfeeding Success, Weight Gain, and Duration of Hospitalization

“…Previous research reported that cup-fed infants displayed more mature breastfeeding behavior by a significant degree compared to bottle-fed infants. 16,36,37 Dalal et al found that increasing experience of the paladai feeding method and maturity ensured rapid improvement in feeding performance. 38 In addition, they proposed that paladai or BF may be equally safe feeding methods for preterm neonates in hospital.…”

“…39 Another investigation found that use of a cup instead of a bottle increased the scope and duration of breastfeeding for preterm infants. 16 Table 3 Significance levels for Bonferroni test comparing Cup feeding-Syringe feeding (1-2), Cup feeding-Bottle feeding (1-3), and Syringe feeding-Bottle feeding (2-3) paired comparisons: *Syringe feeding-Bottle feeding (2-3) p < 0.05; *Post hoc advanced analysis result.…”
