INTRODUCTION Oral feeding is one of the hardest steps for premature infants after respiratory independence and is a challenge for nurses in neonatology. OBJECTIVES To know the characteristics of preterm infants, essential for oral feeding; to know the nurses' opinion on nursing interventions, that promote the transition of gavage feeding for oral feeding in preterm infants. METHODS An exploratory, descriptive study with a qualitative approach was used. Semi-structured interviews with neonatal nurses were conducted and data was submitted to content analysis. RESULTS Weight, gestational age, physiological stability, sucking coordination, swallowing and breathing, and the overall look and feeding involvement are fundamental parameters to begin oral feeding. Positioning the baby, reflexes stimulation, control stress levels, monitoring the temperature and the milk flow are nursing interventions that promote the development of feeding skills. CONCLUSION An algorithm for the oral feeding of preterm infants was developed grounded in the opinions of nurses. |
