    Snippet: OBJECTIVE: To determine whether delaying oral feeding until coming off NCPAP will alter feeding and respiratory-related morbidities in preterm infants. DESIGN: In this retrospective pre–post analysis, outcomes were compared in two preterm infant groups (≤32 weeks gestation). Infants in Group 1 were orally fed while on NCPAP, while infants in Group 2 were only allowed oral feedings after ceasing NCPAP. RESULTS: Although infants in Group 2 started feeds at a later postmenstrual age (PMA), they
    Document: OBJECTIVE: To determine whether delaying oral feeding until coming off NCPAP will alter feeding and respiratory-related morbidities in preterm infants. DESIGN: In this retrospective pre–post analysis, outcomes were compared in two preterm infant groups (≤32 weeks gestation). Infants in Group 1 were orally fed while on NCPAP, while infants in Group 2 were only allowed oral feedings after ceasing NCPAP. RESULTS: Although infants in Group 2 started feeds at a later postmenstrual age (PMA), they reached full oral feeding at a similar PMA compared with Group 1. Interestingly, there was a positive correlation between the duration of oral feeding while on NCPAP and the time spent on respiratory support in Group 1. CONCLUSIONS: Delayed oral feeding until ceasing NCPAP did not contribute to feeding-related morbidities. We recommend caution when initiating oral feedings in preterm infants on NCPAP without evaluating the safety of the infants and their readiness for oral feedings.
