Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The timing of the onset of oral feeding in infants in the intervention and control groups will be assessed. Timepoint: When to start oral feeding for the first time. Method of measurement: Record the age of the infant at the time of starting oral feeding in a questionnaire.;The time of reach to independent oral feedings in the infants of the intervention and control groups will be evaluated. Timepoint: Time to reach 8 times independent oral feeding. Method of measurement: Record the age of the infant at the time of reaching 8 times of independent oral feeding in a questionnaire. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The weight of the newborns will be assessed on a daily basis and the average will be compared in the intervention and control groups. Timepoint: The weight during the study on a daily. Method of measurement: Weight will measure with scales.;The age of hospital discharge in infants in the intervention and control groups will be compared. Timepoint: The time of discharge.
