Factors associated with feeding problems in bottle-fed preterm infants: A descriptive cross-sectional study

In this study, we found that very preterm and moderately preterm infants had more problematic feeding symptoms, as measured by the NeoEAT - Bottle-feeding, than infants born late preterm. Infants born at earlier gestational ages had more symptoms of problematic feeding. Gastroesophageal reflux was a predictor of more symptoms of problematic feeding.
