The Mother-Infant Feeding Tool

Abstract: Objective To describe the development and evaluation of an observation system to assess the process of mother-infant feeding interaction relevant to infant neuro-behavioral regulation: the Mother-Infant Feeding Tool. Design Secondary analysis. Setting Special care nursery just before discharge and in the home at 1 and 4 months postterm age. Participants Forty-three mother-infant dyads. Methods Videotaped feeding interactions were examined to assess regulatory processes of mother-infant interaction. Dat… Show more

“…In response, many professionals are developing technologies that help promote breastfeeding. Among the most utilized technologies are video and film (4,5) , particularly when targeting mothers of young children (4,(6)(7) . This increased utilization of technology has likewise motivated nurses to develop strategies and technologies that will encourage mothers to exclusively breastfeed for a longer period of time.…”

“…17 Three additional tools were excluded because their use is limited to specific diagnoses: the Feeding Checklist 18 (infants with non-organic failure to thrive), the Infant Malnutrition and Feeding Checklist for Congenital Heart Disease 19 (infants with congenital heart disease), and the Nutrition and Feeding Risk Identification Tool 20 (infants in early intervention). Finally, the Mother-Infant Feeding Tool 21 was excluded because it assesses mother-infant interaction in the context of feeding, but is not a feeding assessment; it is also an observational coding system intended for research purposes only. The final sample included 11 assessment tools (Table 1).…”

“…A premature infant without significant medical issues should have the oral motor abilities needed to nipple all feedings and establish a pattern of adequate weight gain by 37 to 38 weeks' postconceptual age. 11 Brown et al 12 developed a feeding tool, using the concepts of Als's synactive theory, to explore maternal and infant factors and characteristics of the feeding experience that contributed to infant engagement during bottle feeding. Recognizing that early feeding interactions may strengthen adaptive feeding behaviors or reinforce maladaptive feeding behaviors in both the mother and infant, the authors evaluated 43 motherpremature infant dyads to describe realtime behavior of a mother and her infant in relation to each other during a feeding.…”

“…14 Concepts from several tools may be incorporated into the health care provider's informal observations of the parent-infant feeding experience to aid in recognition of issues and opportunities for intervention. In addition to the motherinfant feeding tool discussed earlier by Brown et al, 12 Barnard's NCAST Feeding Scale 15 and the Newborn Behavioral Observation program 16 provide concepts to observe and teach parents about the capacities, temperament, and feeding skills of their infant ( Table 1).…”
