Neonatal difficulty in feeding at breast - what does this mean
Neonatal difficulty in feeding at breast is a condition that affects newborns and is characterized by difficulty in latching, sucking and swallowing during breastfeeding. this can be caused by physical issues such as a cleft lip or palate, neurological issues, or poor muscle tone in the baby's mouth. it can also be caused by a lack of milk supply or a mismatch between the baby and the mother's milk supply.
What happens during the disease - neonatal difficulty in feeding at breast
Neonatal difficulty in feeding at breast is most commonly caused by a combination of anatomical and physiological factors, such as an immature sucking reflex, poor oral-motor coordination, an inefficient suck-swallow-breathe coordination, and a weak suckling ability. it can also be caused by maternal factors such as inadequate milk supply, improper positioning, and incorrect latch. in some cases, underlying medical conditions, such as a cleft lip or palate, can also contribute to the difficulty.
