Summary

The approach described here is based both on theoretical concepts and on the work of several teams of researchers. By positioning the baby and the appropriate adult, a speech bath, a sustained look and an expressive face, it is hypothesized that this early communication exercise will significantly improve the transition from passive feeding, active feeding of the premature child, from a qualitative and quantitative point of view.

Conditions

• Immature Newborn
• Feeding Behavior

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Implementation of ALIJEU	The intervention concerns the passage from the passive feed (gastric tube) to the active feed (breast, feeding bottle). We propose to set up a pleasant moment just before his meal. This is a practical exercise of a few minutes. The aim of this special moment is to facilitate child-adult exchanges, improve active food intake and reduce the length of hospital stay.
