Brief Summary

The approach described here is based both on theoretical concepts and on the work of several teams of researchers. By positioning the baby and the appropriate adult, a speech bath, a sustained look and an expressive face, it is hypothesized that this early communication exercise will significantly improve the transition from passive feeding, active feeding of the premature child, from a qualitative and quantitative point of view.

Interventions

Implementation of ALIJEU BEHAVIORAL

The intervention concerns the passage from the passive feed (gastric tube) to the active feed (breast, feeding bottle). We propose to set up a pleasant moment just before his meal. This is a practical exercise of a few minutes. The aim of this special moment is to facilitate child-adult exchanges, improve active food intake and reduce the length of hospital stay.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: Up to 4 Weeks
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Premate newborn with an age inferior to 32 weeks of amenorrhea at birth

You may qualify if:

• Age of child at birth: \<32 WA justified by the greater prevalence of oral disorders in these children.
• Age of the child at the start of the study: 35 WA, ie at the beginning of the establishment of active feeding within the unit.

You may not qualify if:

• Children with oral malformations
• Contra-indication to the realization to the ALIJEU (infection in progress, hemodynamic instability, etc.)
• Medical contraindications to oral diet
