Summary

In this parallel-group randomized controlled trial, very low birthweight infants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either cue-based (intervention group) or clinician-driven feeding (control group). For infants in the intervention group, Speech therapists and nurses will use their cue-based assessment training to aid in clinical management of oral feeding. For infants in the control group, clinicians caring for these infants will define the feeding plan based on their daily assessment.
