Objective: To systematically evaluate the effect of cue-based feeding (CBF) on feeding outcomes in preterm infants.

Methods: Databases including CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane Library were searched from the database's inception to November 2023. The literature screening and quality assessment were conducted by two researchers independently, and a meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.4 software.

Results: A total of six randomised controlled trials and eight quasi-experimental studies involving 2239 preterm infants were included. The results indicated that CBF was effective in shortening the time to achieve full oral feeding (Z = 22.32, p < 0.01) and reducing the incidence of feeding intolerance (Z = 2.18, p < 0.05). Compared with scheduled feeding (SF), CBF was found to enhance parental participation and satisfaction. Health professionals such as paediatricians, nurses and feeding specialists, highly agreed on the positive effects of CBF.

Conclusion: Cue-based feeding has the potential to shorten the time to achieve full oral feeding, reduce the incidence of feeding intolerance and promote parental involvement in feeding behaviour for preterm infants.

Implications For Practice: Cue-based feeding is recommended for preterm infants, as it could enhance oral feeding competence, facilitate feeding progression and reduce the incidence of feeding complications.

No Patient Or Public Contribution: Our paper is a systematic review and meta-analysis, and such details do not apply to our work.

Background: Emerging knowledge about supportive neurodevelopmental neonatal care shows the need for an individual approach to establish breastfeeding. However, evidence on how cue-based breastfeeding is supported in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is scarce. Therefore, the aim was to describe supporting practices for cue-based breastfeeding.

Aim: To compare volume-driven and cue-based feeding of low birth weight preterm infants, regarding short-term outcomes, including transition to oral feeds, weight gain, and length of stay.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. Feeding and weight gain outcomes were compared between infants fed by volume-driven and cue-based feeds.

Breastfeeding offers significant health benefits for both mothers and infants, particularly preterm infants, where it serves as a therapeutic strategy to reduce mortality and morbidities. However, breastfeeding practices are threatened globally by societal norms and systemic barriers at both micro and macro levels. This paper explores the complex interplay of these barriers and facilitators, focusing on the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) setting.

Cleaner fishes remove parasites from other fishes called "clients," thereby contributing to a healthier ecosystem. Although the behavior and learning abilities of dedicated and tropical cleaner fishes have been broadly studied, a limited number of studies investigated the behavior of facultative and temperate cleaner fishes and, to the best of our knowledge, none focused on their cognitive abilities. Here, we tested the learning abilities of a species of temperate facultative cleaner, the ornate wrasse Thalassoma pavo in laboratory conditions, based on two problems.
