Abstract:
Premature birth is an ordeal for parents, and can have repercussions on the bond of attachment. The risk of stress can be reduced by involving parents in care and feeding, and by encouraging their presence with their baby. The aim of the study was to understand parents' experience of their premature baby's feeding times. Eleven families were included. Parents' experiences differed according to their ability to engage in feeding patterns, influenced by their baby's state of health and immaturity, and by the medical environment. Many expressed the need for support in coping with emotional and practical challenges.
