Studying the Influence of Exposure to Maternal Voice on Oral Feeding Volumes in Preterm Infants

NCT05181020 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 25

Summary

Oral feeding is one of the primary functions of the neonatal brain. In preterm infant population, competency at oral feeding is one of the major milestones in preparation for discharge. Mother's voices have been shown to have a net stimulatory effect and premature infants have been found to have increased cardiorespiratory stability after listening to mother's voices. Main objective of this study is to determine if it is possible to expose preterm infant in a systematic manner to mother's voices before their feeds and to determine if this exposure results in an increase in their oral intake.
