Breastfeeding and swallowing in a neonate with mild hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy

摘要

BackgroundSpecific breastfeeding and swallowing characteristics in neonates with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) have not yet been well described in the literature. Considering the relatively high incidence of HIE in resource-poor settings, speech-language therapists should be cognisant of the feeding difficulties in this population during breastfeeding.
