Breastfeeding and Bottle Feeding: Impact on Preterm Infants' Physiology and Feeding Performance

"In experimental group infants: Preterms in this group will be breastfed by their own mother.~In control group infants: Preterms in this group will be fed by the researcher by putting the baby's own mother's milk in the bottle. During feeding, the preterm will be placed on the lap by the researcher in a standing position on the same mother's breast, and will be given a raised side-lying position. In this position, the preterm's head and body will be elevated 45-60 degrees with the help of a small pillow. While the researcher will support the preterm's head, neck and shoulder with one hand, he will control the bottle with the other hand. By touching the preterm's nipple to the preterm's lips, the preterm will be prepared for feeding, and the bottle will be placed in the baby's mouth with the mouth opening and the tongue lowering. During feeding, stimulating movements such as pushing the bottle back and forth in the mouth, which will lead the newborn to suck faster, will not be made."
