Feeding Support Content Just for Preemie Parents

We will be updating this page every month with robust support articles written just for parents of premature infants. Check back for guides on feeding and supporting preemies, written by the experienced nfant® team.

Feeding difficulty is experienced by up to 70 percent of premature infants and up to 25 percent of full-term infants born in the U.S. Our nfant® Thrive System leverages the same technology we’ve been using in hospitals and NICUs for years with our hospital product, the nfant® Feeding Solution. Independent studies have shown improvement in growth, development and clinical outcomes including:

• Shortens transition to independent feeding
• Shortens hospital stays
• Reduces readmission rates
• Reduces or eliminates radiation exposure associated with Video Fluoroscopy Swallow Studies (VFSS)
• Reduces or eliminates the need for invasive G-tube surgery
• Reduces the need for outpatient feeding services
