Parent Perspectives on Transitioning Premature Infants from Tube Feeding to Oral Feeding

Primary Objective

This project will conduct focus groups with parents and caregivers who have a child that was born prematurely and required tube feeding for over 3 months. The purpose of the focus groups is to understand challenges related to eating orally for these children, discuss current guidance the family has received, explore what could be done to improve the process of transitioning to oral feeding, as well as what resources and support would be helpful to families. Results will be used to identify methods to improve feeding support for families and caregivers of premature infants, as well as preliminary data to obtain additional funding.
