Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Neonatal Oral-Motor Assessment Scale (NOMAS) scale [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]
    the score goes from 8 to 28, the higher the score meaning a worse outcome


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Ghrelin dosage [ Time Frame: Day 0, Week 1 and week 4 ]
    Concentration of ghrelin (unacylated/UAG and acylated/AG)

  2. Oxytocin dosage [ Time Frame: Day 0, week 4 ]
    Plasma Oxytocin concentration

  3. Proficiency score [ Time Frame: Day 0, Week and week 4 ]
    The volume of milk taken in the first five minutes of feeding
