Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the use of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) will provide a more efficient method of treating neonates with dysfunctional oral feeding such as dysphagia. This study will attempt to determine if NMES applied to neonates at 36-42 weeks post-conception age (PCA) will decrease the need for nasogastric tubes (NG) and gastrostomy tubes (G-TUBE). Increase the rate at which these neonates complete full oral feeds, improve their swallowing skills, increase oral intake of calories, and gain weight.
