    Author : Ann Dsilna Lindh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : tube feeding;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate short term effects of enteral feeding methods, continuous versus intermittent bolus feeding in very low birth weight infants on gastro intestinal tolerance and growth (I) and, behavioural responses of stress during feeding (II) in early postnatal life. Furthermore, to compare and follow up of longer term effects of these enteral feeding methods on later breastfeeding capability (III). READ MORE
