Purpose To compare the use of syringe and finger feeding to feed preterm newborns considering amount of milk offered, amount of milk spilled, variation of oxygen saturation, and heart rate. Methods Quasi-experimental study with 30 preterm newborns. Thirteen infants were females and 17 were males. The mean gestational age at birth and during evaluation (corrected age) was 33 4/7 ± 4/7 and 36 ± 4/7, respectively. Newborns’ mean birthweight and mean weight when evaluated was 1,800 ± 140 and 1,972 ± 88 grams. We assessed one feeding session using a syringe and another feeding session using the finger feeding technique. Both techniques were used in the same infant, so that the preterm newborns were controls for themselves. A portable pulse oximeter was used to check the variation of oxygen saturation and heart rate. A gauze pad was placed under the infants’ chin to absorb the spilled milk. The statistical tests used were: ANOVA, paired Student’s t test, Tukey Multiple Comparison test, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The level of significance was set at 5%. Results We found a difference between the techniques in terms of both amount of milk offered and amount of milk spilled. These amounts were larger when the syringe was used. Heart rate was different at two specific times: before/during and before/after feeding for both techniques. However, the values were within normal limits. Oxygen saturation values were also different, showing higher values after syringe feeding. Conclusions Finger feeding proved to cause less spillage, whereas the variations of oxygen saturation and heart rate were within normal limits.
