Brief Summary: This study aimed to determine the effect of oral motor stimulation OMS in preterm infants for successful feeding and sucking
Detailed Description: In recent years with advances in methods of neonatal resuscitation and caring methods the survival rate of preterm infants has gradually increased Sucking swallow and respiratory dysfunction are widespread complications in the preterm infants that reason oral feeding difficulties Safe and successful oral feeding requires proper maturation of sucking swallowing and respiration The development of behaviors necessary for safe and successful nutrition begins long before birth Jaw movements begin to be seen in the intrauterine 11th week But sucking-swallowing-respiratory coordination is not sufficiently developed before 34 weeks of gestation For this reason preterm babies at the greater gestational week usually show more developed and consistent feeding skills Maternal breast milk is best for neurodevelopment in preterm infants Achieve oral feeding and maternal breast milk as early as possible is beneficial for preterm infants

Oral motor stimulation OMS is defined as the sensorial stimulation of cheek lip jaw upper-lower gum internal cheek tongue and soft palate that affects the physiology of oropharyngeal mechanisms and develops feeding functions OMS used as an alternative or supplementary early intervention strategy to develop oral feeding skills in preterm infants Previous studies have indicated that the use of OMS during or before the transition to oral feeding may not only have positive effects on the preterm infants feeding behaviors but also enhance their general clinical course Preterm infants who suffer from oral feeding problems often experience longterm health problems and delayed discharge from the hospital A more effective feeding decreases adverse outcomes by decreasing hospital stays

Preterm infants are required to prolonged NICU stay in order to stabilized feeding and gain optimal weight Increasing prematurity and reduced birth weight lead to extensive resource utilization In addition all nutritional options except breast milk increase the cost OMS can develop sucking success and provide early oral feeding Thus nurse labor and hospital costs may decrease and OMS can be a cost-effective application
