The information in this article illustrates the importance of evaluating oral motor function of the infant, not only as function of his or her own ability but also of external and maternal assistance. The proper development of maternal behavior as a contribution toward the development of sucking behavior may not be readily evident; however, awareness is growing that a close mother-infant interaction can positively affect the infant's ability to feed, as well as his or her psychosomatic development. As a consequence, it becomes essential that the integrity of the nursing dyad be protected. More often than not, caretakers have seen the latter break down when mother or infant becomes too involved. Studies focusing on maternal and neonatal non-nutritional attributes stress the importance of acquiring a better appreciation of the psychosomatic benefits that can be generated by the nursing dyad. With such understanding, interventions may be developed to enhance the expression of these factors to help safeguard mother-infant relationship during difficult times.
本文中的信息表明，评估婴儿的口腔运动功能非常重要，这不仅关乎其自身能力，还涉及外部和母亲的协助。母亲行为的适当发展对吸吮行为发展的促进作用可能并不明显；然而，人们越来越意识到，母婴之间密切的互动能够对婴儿的进食能力及其身心发展产生积极影响。因此，保护母婴护理二元组的完整性至关重要。通常情况下，当母亲或婴儿过度投入时，看护者会看到这种二元组关系破裂。关注母婴非营养属性的研究强调了更好地认识母婴护理二元组所能带来的身心益处的重要性。有了这样的认识，就可以制定干预措施来增强这些因素的作用，以在困难时期帮助维护母婴关系。
