This may decrease overall length of stay for these infants.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Anndrea Flint<\/li>\n<li>Mark<\/li>\n<li>Li-An Collie<\/li>\n<li>Kristina Palmer-Field<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>bottle feeding, breast feeding, discharge planning, infant, newborn, rooming-in care, tube feeding<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Progression from gastric tube feeds to full suckle feeds and discharge home of preterm&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[5180,5181,5182,3937,3890,5183,5184],"class_list":["post-7788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-bottle-feeding","tag-breast-feeding","tag-discharge-planning","tag-infant","tag-newborn","tag-rooming-in-care","tag-tube-feeding","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
