Establishing Breastfeeding with the Late Preterm Infant in the NICU

LPIs require a unique set of interventions for breastfeeding success; though they might be perceived as small, full‐term infants, these infants often have greater challenges with breastfeeding than their term counterparts. Future research should be directed at identifying and testing specific strategies that will best support this at‐risk population. Findings from this article are applicable for the LPI in the NICU as well as other care areas such as special care and transitional nurseries.
