Feeding is one of the most common problems encountered by preterm infants. Besides, effective and safe feeding is one of the important discharge criteria. Feeding problems of premature infants lead to prolonged hospitalization and increased healthcare cost. SINC feeding protocol was developed based on evidence-based feeding protocol (such as cue-based, infant-driven feeding) and individualized developmental care.
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of the SINC feeding protocol on weight gain, transition to oral feeding and the length of hospitalization in premature infants according to traditional feeding method.
Randomized controlled study, including 30 infants of 28-33+6 weeks gestation receiving either Standard Feeding or SINC Feeding Protocol.
