“…This finding is comparable to a report that NNS use did not alter the frequency or duration of arousal in sleeping infants (Hanzer et al, 2009). NNS use has been shown to help modulate infants' sleep (Bingham et al, 2011;Pinelli & Symington, 2010). This effect was proposed to be due to the emergence of immature developmental patterns of NNS (burst organization and consistency of suck waves) associated with decreased arousal level.…”

“…Furthermore, preterm infants in the NICU commonly receive NNS, an intervention considered benign, to modulate infant behavioral states (Bingham, Ashikaga, & Abbasi, 2011;Pinelli & Symington, 2010). However, little is known about the effect of NICU caregiving, position, or NNS on preterm infants' states over time, nor about the links among preterm infant sleep quality, caregiving, and positioning.…”

In this prospective, descriptive study, we used a repeatedmeasures design to explore the 24-hour effects of caregiving and positioning on preterm infants' states and the factors associated with state changes. Thirty preterm infants (gestational age 27.6-36.1 weeks) were observed for 3 days in the neonatal intensive care unit to record six states: quiet sleep (QS), active sleep, transition, active awake, quiet awake, and fussy or crying. The occurrences of QS increased when infants received no caregiving, social interaction, non-nutritive sucking (NNS), and were laterally positioned. However, QS significantly decreased and fussy or crying state increased when infants received routine and intrusive caregiving. These results suggest that caregiving, NNS, and positioning should be appropriately provided to facilitate infants' sleep, and reduce fussiness or crying. ß

“…Women may require advice on specific interventions which may facilitate or inhibit successful breastfeeding of multiples. Pacifier use has been found to have no effect on long-term breastfeeding outcomes in term singleton infants when breastfeeding is already established (Jaafar 2012) and while pacifier use may be promoted in preterm infants for the promotion of physiological stability (Pinelli 2005), the effect on the initiation of feeding at the breast is unknown. However, the use of a pacifier has been suggested as an intervention that can facilitate feeding multiples (Cinar 2013).…”

“…In the setting of prematurity, the stimulation of NNS (sucking movements in the absence of swallowing/feeding) holds particular interest, because this activity improves feeding skills and shortens hospital stay for these patients (Bernbaum, Periera, Watkins, & Peckham, 1983;Field et al, 1982;Measel & Anderson, 1979;Pinelli & Symington, 2005). These favorable effects suggest that further efforts to reinforce and enhance NNS may augment clinical benefits.…”
