Brief report. Cup feeding: an alternative to bottle feeding in a neonatal intensive care unit

Abstract: Cup feeding has been suggested as an alternative to bottle feeding to help promote breastfeeding by avoiding nipple confusion. To demonstrate the possibility and utility of cup feeding, records of 59 preterm and low birthweight babies (born before 37 weeks' gestation) admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) from May 1995 to April 1996 were analyzed.

“…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.…”
