The goal of this observational study is to assess the link between reactions to orofacial stimuli observed at 29 weeks of amenorrhoea, and feeding difficulties at 36 weeks of amenorrhoea, in babies born prematurely between 26 and 27 + 6 weeks of gestation, admitted to the CHSF between 1 May 2025 and 31 March 2026. The main questions it aims to answer are : Can reactions to orofacial stimulation in babies born very prematurely be used as a tool for early detection of feeding difficulties before discharge from hospital? Is it possible to establish a predictive score for potential feeding difficulties as early as 29 weeks of gestation corrected, based on reactions to orofacial stimuli ? Participants will have their reactions to orofacial stimulations recorded in the 'Suivi oralité' grid completed by the nurses in the neonatal medicine and intensive care unit, which will then collect.
