Physiotherapy to Improve Feeding Skills in Preterm Infants

"Neurodevelopmental intervention seeks to reduce abnormal postures and movement patterns in premature infants, allowing them to experience physiological postures in flexion and receive sensory stimulation. To this is added oral stimulation.~These stimulations are performed on alternate days."

This intervention consists of performing a sensorimotor stimulation of oral structures: stimulating for 7 minutes perioral structures( cheeks, lips and jaw)intraoral structures for 5 minutes and in the last 3 minutes non-nutritive suction stimulation with pacifier or finger.
