[Supporting the progress of preterm babies with breastfeeding due to a behavior scale].
Preterm babies' breastfeeding skills vary from one child to the next, but they can develop very early. Knowledge around this subject now allows each mother and baby to be given individualized support on the long and difficult road from the feeding tube to the breast. The adaptation of the Preterm Infant Breastfeeding Behavior Scale into a diagram provides a visual assessment of the baby's skills.
