ABSTRACT

Objective. To study the weight gain of premature neonates with less of 1,800 g when they are feeding with a premature milk formula by suction.
Material and methods. The study was done in 140 prematures: 70 cases and 70 controls. All of them ‹ 1,800 g and under conditions of feeding for enteral tract. The study group received the formula when arriving to requirements of 150 mL/kg/day and the control group made it when they weight 1,800 g. The variables evaluated were: weight gain, volume of milk ingested and weight at hospital discharge.
Results. The study group begin earlier suction (10.4 ± 8.3 days vs 29.3 ± 13.1 days); the weight gain was better (18.7 ± 8.7 g vs 10.8 ± 4.7 g), and the volume of milk ingested (372.5 ± 69.4 mL/day vs 273.2 ± 31.2 mL/day).
Conclusions. The early feeding by suction in premature babys of 34 weeks doesn’t interfere with the gain of weight; there is a quicker increment of weight against those fed by probe and the time of stay it shortens so the cost to the institution.
