The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of the tongue movement in an infant during sucking. We developed an artificial nipple installed with small cantilever-type sensors and directly measured the force applied on the nipple by the tongue. Subjects were a healthy infant and infants who had difficulty sucking. The latter could not breastfeed well and were fed from tubes. As a result, it was shown to be due to peristaltic-like movement of the tongue in healthy infant. In infants with sucking difficulties, it was shown that the base and the tip of the tongue was in contact at the same time. To estimate chronological changes, we measured the force several times. The results showed an increase in the maximum force. |
