“…Morris reported that the treatment of children with swallowing dysfunction requires a holistic approach based on a global view of their problems and needs. The primary goal of such an approach is to develop the appropriate use of the mouth, respiratory, and phonatory systems through exploration, sound play, and as much oral feeding as possible 10) . The ability to take in liquid improved spectacularly in the infants in this study.…”

Feeding development in infants is important not only for of the purpose of acquiring nutrition but also for developing the ability to intake liquids. Our previous study showed that the introduction of a straw was appropriate after an infant has acquired the ability to sip liquid from a spoon and/or cup. In this study, we investigated the effect of a bowlshaped spoon on liquid intake. The aim of this study was to determine the appropriate form of spoon for infant feeding development. Eleven healthy infants (3 girls and 8 boys, 10-18 months old, mean age: 13.3 months) were recruited with their guardians' consent. We made 3 types of prototype spoon: A, oval (a standard renge soup spoon); B, flared-out (with the margin of the bowl flared out); and C, hemispherical (with a hemispherical bottom, and smaller than type A or B). We observed infants taking liquid supported by their mothers and evaluated the following responses: 1) confusion with regard to lip position, 2) spillage and 3) choking. Type C showed statistically less confusion with regard to lip position than type A or B (pϽ0.01), and B showed less than type A (pϽ0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed in spillage or choking among the three types of spoon. The renge soup spoon is often used to smooth the transition from breast/ bottle to cup feeding. In this study, we demonstrated the appropriate spoon form for infant feeding development.

“…History of use of NG feeding: Results revealed that 97.1% of preterm infants required feeding through nasogastric tube, with 68.6% of preterm infants requiring more than 6 days of NG tube feeding, whereas none of the full term infant required feeding through NG tube. Literature explains nasogastric tube as a general mode for nutrition intake in infants and young children exhibiting feeding problems 8 . Use of NG tube may have its own disadvantages.…”

“…Finally, it may be hypothesised that the interventions themselves (endotracheal intubation, nasal CPAP devices, gastric tubes, and delayed oral feeding) directly impair the establishment of normal feeding patterns (Morris 1989). There may be disruption of the normal sequence of feeding so that the wrong stimuli are introduced in the 'sensitive period' (Skuse 1993).…”

Identification of neonates at risk of developing feeding problems in infancy

The increased survival of sick and preterm neonates may be associated with long‐term problems which must be recognised and managed if outcome is to be optimised. In a prospective study of 35 neonates (median gestational age at birth 34 weeks) admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit over a 3‐month period, we have documented a high incidence (14 of 35) of immature or abnormal feeding patterns when infants were assessed at 36 to 40 weeks postmenstrual age. Neonates with prolonged respiratory support and delayed enteral and oral feeding were most affected. Compared with neonates who have normal initial feeding assessments, neonates with disorganised or dysfunctional feeding were six times more likely to vomit and three times more likely to cough when offered solid food at 6 months of age. At 12 months of age significant differences were also found in tolerating lumpy food and enjoying mealtimes. We hypothesise that these feeding problems contribute to failure to thrive and psychosocial distress after discharge from the neonatal unit and propose potential neonatal measures to reduce their incidence.
