Paladai is a cup used extensively however when improperly practiced, milk is poured into the infants mouth rather than allowing him to lap it and can cause bradycardia, apnea or chocking. It was hypothesized that with NIFTY cup, it would be possible to control the amount of feed being given. It was a randomized crossover trial conducted in the NICU over 18 months. As no intervention was done and already established practices in the NICU were studied, there was no danger of any unethical practice. All the neonates fulfilling inclusion criteria were included. By randomized cross over trial, neonates were fed initially by NIFTY cup or by the paladai and later by the other method. The caregiver then completed a preference survey comparing their experience with both the feeding methods. The NIFTY cup proved less problematic than the paladai in terms of spilling, regurgitation, gagging, and damage, according to the caregivers. It was easier to use and required less time to feed the baby and the newborn was less agitated when using it. Thus the NIFTY cup is a promising new tool for feeding infants with breastfeeding difficulties. Additional bigger and multicentric studies are needed to evaluate the NIFTY cup.
