Ultimate goal : Facilitate and promote infants growth and development *Altering environmental and caregiving stressors that interfere with physiological stability How to Achieve the Goals? Promoting individual neurobehavioral organization and maturation by: *Identifying and facili-tating stable behaviors *Reducing stressful behaviors Conserving energy Teaching parents to interpret infant behaviors Promoting parent-infant interaction and caregiving Establishing biorhythmic balance and physiologic homeostasis Providing a sensitive, responsive NICU environment (Marilyn & Laurie, 2003) NICU,

This interactive fit is critical for developing parent confidence and competence in feeding their baby Nurses describe stress behaviors explain in simple term Nr explain contingent interventions she is using, parents learn how they can intervene to help baby feed successfully and safely. Parents would no longer be feeding babies blindfolded or waiting for their baby to choke and turn blue Confidence comes from having information necessary to assess the infant during feeding When parents begin to feed baby, Nr is there to help them recognize infant cues, provide anticipatory guidance, reinforce appropriate and timely interventions Conclusion When caregivers support preterm infants by modifying care according to his behaviors, the infant have better outcomes. Caregivng practice and routines have a strong influence on development of successful feeding skills Use of individualized, DSC approach to feeding can optimize intake, prevent fatigue, and ensure safety, and promote earlier disch-arge
