Detailed description

If the importance of feeding premature newborns is a central concern during their management, the absence of an evaluation tool leads to a great disparity in their implementation (particularly marked by at regular times by the care teams), which can eventually lead to oral disorders. The possibility of an assessment of the newborn's skills could allow a homogenization of therapeutic proposals and thus a potentially faster progression of dietary independence of the newborn. This method could also encourage parental involvement in feeding care. The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of a tool to help food progression on food autonomy.
