Non-nutritive sucking
Course description:
We rely on a small team and user feedback to keep Pharmacy Courses running. Notice something looks odd? Let us know!Preterm babies initially lack the coordinated sucking skills required to feed. Use of a soother (dummy) may help them to develop these skills, as well as provide comfort. This free CPD module explains non-nutritive sucking and reviews the evidence supporting its use in preterm and unwell babies.
After studying this module, you should:
- Understand what non-nutritive sucking is
- Be able to explain the benefits of non-nutritive sucking for premature or unwell babies
- Gain confidence discussing the use of soothers with parents
Pharmacy Courses is designed to introduce learners with potential education providers, we regularly update our course catalog. While every effort has been made to ensure the data we offer is up to date, we recommend that you confirm the information directly with the provider through an official channel.
