AB  - While  there  are  many  criteria  for  discharge  from  the  neonatal  intensive  care  unit  (NICU),  eating  well  enough  to  gain  weight  and  do  so  without  significant  physical  distress  are  two  commonly  used  criteria  to  determine  readiness  to  discharge  home.  However,  infant  competency  with  the  task  of  eating  is  variable  and  feeding  continues  to  be  a  source  of  concern  after  discharge  for  many  families.  Infants  may  be  discharged  with  supplemental  tube  feedings  prior  to  achieving  full  oral  feeding,  or  eating  with  poor  coordination.  The  assumption  is  often  that  feedings  will  improve  naturally  after  discharge.
