In this review, we will appraise (1) the physiology of swallowing and oral feeding skills, (2) disruptions to oral feeding in preterm infants, (3) feeding problems in preterm infants beyond the NICU, and (4) an algorithmic approach to the evaluation and management of neonatal feeding problems. 2.

Infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (January 2016 to December 2018) who were performed modified barium swallow study due to oral feeding difficulties were enrolled. Modified barium swallow study was done ≥ postmenstrual age 37 weeks to limit radiation exposure.
The instrumental assessment looks at functional and structural aspects of swallowing that aren’t visible upon physical examination. It can answer specific questions about the presence and extent of swallow dysfunction, safety for feeding, and the effectiveness of therapeutic strategies.
