“…In two recent studies marked differences between non-nutritive sucking and sucking during a feed have been found [3,4]. In a study of a large sample of babies [5] we were unable to find any relation between laboratory measures of non-nutritive sucking and the intake of milk over the first four days of life; in contrast laboratory measures of nutritive sucking for small amounts of fluid were positively related to intake over 4 days.…”

“…An interesting aspect of the study of the sucking behavior of infants is raised from this report. Many investigators have examined the different sucking patterns exhibited by infants as determinants of milk intake (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Wolff (7) characterized nutritive sucking as an "uninterrupted sequence of sucks [which] cycled at a relatively slow mean rate."…”

A noninvasive adaptation of the test‐weighing method has been devised for continuously monitoring milk intake in breast‐fed infants. This procedure consists of counting the number of swallows from videotaped sessions of individual feeds and correlating them to the corresponding pre‐ and postnursing weights of the infants. The method has been tested on four nursing sessions in twins aged 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 months. A high correlation was found between swallow counts and weight gain of the babies. The patterns of milk intake as monitored by these two parameters were similar. This method has the advantage of not disrupting the natural nursing process because test‐weighing during the feeding session is not necessary. In addition, it allows for longitudinal studies and uses relatively simple equipment, i.e., a balance and a video camera. It is further suggested that monitoring swallowing in the manner described herein may be a valuable addition to studies on sucking behavior in human infants. Finally, it is noted from the data presented that the pattern of milk transfer in a mother breast‐feeding twins is different from that observed in mothers breast‐feeding singletons who were monitored by means of a cross‐sectional test‐weighing procedure.

“…All were normal, full-term babies born of multiparous mothers. APPARATUS Sucking behavior was measured in the laboratory using a specially adapted nipple (Dubignon & Campbell, 1968). Two components of sucking, suction (negative pressure generated in the mouth) and expression (positive pressure on the nipple), were recorded by a polygraph.…”

“…They reported a greater number of sucks per minute for milk and concluded that "milk has a higher stimulus value for the newborn than 5%corn syrup." In a recent study (Dubignon & Campbell, 1968), differences were found between sucking during a milk feed and sucking for small amounts of dextrose. During a feed the babies sucked more slowly but spent more of the available time sucking and consequently gave a greater number of sucks than when a small amount (0.5 cc) of dextrose 5% was delivered for every 10th suck.…”
