Summary

This study tested whether online occupational therapy-based parent coaching could improve feeding problems in children aged 3-6 who were born prematurely. 39 mothers participated, with some receiving coaching and others not. The coaching aimed to teach mothers better feeding strategies. The study measured changes in feeding behavior, oral sensory processing, and parent satisfaction.

What this could lead to
