Is Really Prefeeding Sensory Motor Stimulations had Significant Impact on Feeding Parameters in Premature Infants?-An Evidence Based Report

The premature infants are born with poor feeding skills. The feeding skills are the most important determinants of growth and development. Always the discharge criterion of preterm depends on the feeding abilities of newborn. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of multiple prefeeding sensory motor stimulations. The randomized controlled complex factorial research design which includes 3 experimental and one control group, conducted in NICU at CK Hospital Erode. The 120 samples were randomized to one of four groups by SNOSE. The results indicate that the experimental group III newborn shows more effectiveness in all feeding parameters and feeding skill than the other experimental and control groups.
