Readiness for oral feeding and oral motor function in preterm infants

Abstract: Objective: this study aimed at investigating the Schedule Oral Motor Assessment (SOMA) tool to be used with preterm infants and to compare its results with the Preterm Oral Feeding Readiness Assessment Scale (POFRAS) to start oral feeding. Methods: a cross-sectional and quantitative study, consisting in a sample of 45 healthy and clinically stable preterm infants, assessed at their first oral feeding with two tools: the Schedule Oral Motor Assessment and Preterm Oral Feeding Readiness Assessment Scale.

“…During this process of transition to oral way, some factors can interfere due to global immaturity 10 . Even if the criterion of gestational age is preconized in the liberation to the beginning of the oral way, this factor alone cannot be decisive 11 .…”

“…Prematurity and low weight, especially when less than 1500 g, are considered risk factors for the newborn (NB) and may interfere with the acceptance of a full oral diet (OD), leading to the need to use alternative routes feeding, such as the enteral tube (1)(2)(3) .…”

“…The preterm newborn (PTNB) may present conditions that interfere with oral motor skills, such as physiological and neurological immaturity, respiratory disorders, muscle hypotonia and minimized oral reflexes (1,6) . Thus, to establish a safe OD satisfactory clinical conditions and the adequacy of the organs of the stomatognathic system must be considered (2,3) , with coordination of suction, swallowing and breathing (SSB) functions (1,3,(6)(7)(8) .…”
