Oral motor intervention in preterm infants
What is it about?
Oral motor intervention has been developed because many preterm infants have problems with oral feeding. In order to explore the effect of oral motor intervention on oral feeding in preterm infants, the review collected a series of clinical trials and conducted systematic data analysis.
Why is it important?
Our findings show that oral motor intervention could shorten transition time for oral feeding and length of hospital stay, as well as increase feeding efficiency and weight gain in preterm infants.
