Development and safety evaluation of a new device for cup-feeding
Tóm tắt
Cup-feeding is an alternative method for newborn feeding. Although there are cups in use for this purpose, there are still some concerns about their adequacy. The objective was to develop a cup considering the physiology of the oromotor function and the stages of sucking development. To develop this cup, it was considered the newborn mouth’s anatomy (term and preterm), their oromotor functions, and the maturation levels of the oromotor functions, the milk flow velocity, and the newborn’s ability to deal with the milk volumes reaching their mouth. Also this device had to be safe to be used in nurseries and neonatal units, so it needed to be adequate for the transportation of human milk from the human milk bank to the unit. It contains a metering nipple, a flow reducer, a scale to inform the milk volume being offered, and a cover. A safety study in 22 term and 22 preterm newborns was performed. The diameter of the metering nipple was adequate to both term and preterm newborns, without risks to the integrity of their lips and tongue. The flow reducer allowed a better control of the milk volume, contributing for the organization of the swallowing, with less spillage of milk. There were no discomfort during the proceedings. This cup showed that it is a good and safe feeding device for term and preterm newborns in the transition to breastfeeding. This cup is safe to be used in Neonatal Intensive Care Units or Nurseries.
