ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To compare the sucking pattern of preterm infants on different feeding methods.METHODS:
The sucking behavior on a gloved finger was evaluated for infants receiving breastfeeding, spoon-feeding and tube-feeding.RESULTS:
The mean (SD) numbers of sucks in spoon-fed infants [49 (20) vs. 35 (23); P=0.04] were significantly higher, and the grade of suck was significantly better compared to the tube-fed group. The mean (SD) number of sucks was significantly higher [83 (30) vs. 49 (20), P<0.001] in breastfed infants compared to spoon-fed infants; all infants on breast feeds had grade 2 suction.CONCLUSION:
