[Continuous feeding and the waking-sleeping rhythm in children].
Twelve children aged 1 to 8 months with severe intestinal disorders that had necessitated treatment from birth with continuous parenteral and/or enteral nutrition were recorded for 24 hours. The analysis of the EEG, their behaviour and their activity showed that the distribution of sleep and movement during the night was similar to that of normal babies fed on demand. The total duration of sleep and the longest sustained sleep were slightly reduced. The authors think that the suppression of feeding rhythms do not alter the pattern of waking and sleeping.
