Summary

The study will be conducted using the crossover randomized controlled method. Preterm infants who began oral feeding from the neonatal intensive care unit will be divided into two groups through randomization in the computer environment. Following the randomization, infants in Group 1 will be fed by applying ''elastic sac'' at the first feeding hour after they are included in the study and in the next feeding they will be fed without performing any application. Infants in Group 2 will be fed without performing any application at the first feeding hour after they are included in the study and they will be fed at the second feeding hour by applying ''elastic sac''. Infants in both groups will be fed by the researcher with a bottle in a semi-fowler right lateral position during feeding hours. During feeding, the effect of the elastic sac on the infant's feeding status and physiological parameters will be evaluated.

Interventions

OTHER

Elastic Sac

Half an hour before the feeding time, the infant will be placed in the elastic sac, be laid in the right lateral position within the nest with an angle of 45 degrees and will be allowed to take a rest within the elastic sac for half an hour. At the feeding time, he/she will be fed by the researcher with a bottle in the right lateral position within the elastic sac with an angle of 45 degrees without making any change in his/her position.

OTHER

Control

Half an hour before the feeding time, the infant will be laid in the right lateral position within the nest with an angle of 45 degrees without performing any different application and will be allowed to take a rest. At the feeding time, he/she will be fed by the researcher with a bottle in the right lateral position within the elastic sac with an angle of 45 degrees without making any change in his/her position.
