OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of the use of non-nutritive sucking in preterm infants about breastfeedingSTUDY DESIGN: This is a randomized clinical trial, conducted between January 2010 and April 2011, in premature infants admitted to neonatal intensive care unit of university hospital. A total of 44 patients with gestational age ≤ 32 weeks and birth weight ≤ 1500g, ≥ 7 days of life, not requiring mechanical ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure were studied. The preterm infants were randomized into two groups: those with a pacifier, offered during hospitalization in neonatal intensive care unit (group I) and without pacifier (group II). The information was later obtained through the nursing records in patient charts. Before discharge breast feeding mothers were filmed. The evaluation of the filming was done by two profissional nurses who were blinded to the study objectives. The instrument used for this assesment was the protocol recommended by the UNICEF breastfeeding. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in length of stay, weight gain and diet on discharge. As for the score of breastfeeding, there were significant differences in favor of the group who used pacifier, and posture (p=0. 043), response (p=0. 015), affect (p=<0. 001) and suction (p=0. 019).CONCLUSION: The results suggest that non-nutritive sucking with a pacifier use enhances mechanical and behavior aspects of breastfeeding and maternal behavior during lactation and does not seem to modify the length of hospitalization, weight gain and breastfeeding at discharge.
