A very important issue in preterm babies is introducing of suck feeds. In this video, I mainly discuss a mix of breast and bottle feeds, but where the mother is able to visit regularly, a transition to full breast feeds is possible in some babies close to discharge (in preterm babies in NICU, we take an exception from BFHI for logistic reasons)-in many developing countries, KMC and exclusive breastfeeding (using cupfeeding as a transition) has been reported, so you need to individualize according to the setting and the team's experience. It is very important to support breastfeeding and encourage EBM (expressed breast milk) in these small babies.
Please share.
