Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The approach described here is based both on theoretical concepts and on the work of several teams of researchers. By positioning the baby and the appropriate adult, a speech bath, a sustained look and an expressive face, it is hypothesized that this early communication exercise will significantly improve the transition from passive feeding, active feeding of the premature child, from a qualitative and quantitative point of view.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental group

patient who can benefit from the ALIJEU for certain meals

Implementation of ALIJEU

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention concerns the passage from the passive feed (gastric tube) to the active feed (breast, feeding bottle).

We propose to set up a pleasant moment just before his meal. This is a practical exercise of a few minutes.

The aim of this special moment is to facilitate child-adult exchanges, improve active food intake and reduce the length of hospital stay.

Group of witnesses

patient who did not benefit from the ALIJEU

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age of child at birth: \<32 WA justified by the greater prevalence of oral disorders in these children.
* Age of the child at the start of the study: 35 WA, ie at the beginning of the establishment of active feeding within the unit.

Exclusion Criteria

* Children with oral malformations
* Contra-indication to the realization to the ALIJEU (infection in progress, hemodynamic instability, etc.)
* Medical contraindications to oral diet
