Preparing for Hospital Discharge:

Immature suck-swallow-breathe coordination, low stamina, and subtle neurological immaturity can turn feeding into a major challenge, placing late preterm infants at risk for poor intake, weight loss, and readmission. The Late Preterm Feeding Skills Lab is an excellent opportunity to increase your assessment skills, apply strategies, and learn practical skills you can use to improve outcomes and reduce stress for both infants and caregivers.
