The Neonatal Eating Assessment Tool - Breastfeeding: Reference values for infants less than 7 months old

In this study of 475 healthy, full-term infants, we present reference values for the Neonatal Eating Assessment Tool—Breastfeeding total score and subscale scores. Reference values are provided for infants 0-2, 2-4, 4-6, and 6-7 months old. These data can be used to guide identification of infants whose breastfeeding falls outside of the range of typical to determine need for interventions and or referral to a breastfeeding specialist.
