San Diego, CA: Singular Thomson Learning. [ Google Scholar] As neonate’s state typically varies during feeding, behaviour should be assessed to determine the optimal stage of alertness to proceed with oral feeding. The neonate should be in an optimal state of alertness for successful oral feeding. The different stages of alertness and subsequent impact on feeding ability were informed by the synactive theory of development. Jadcherla S. (2016).
