Core Tip	Preterm infants with low-birth-weight are prone to feeding intolerance reactions, such as vomiting and bloating, when using gastric tubes, which is attributed to the incomplete development of the gastrointestinal system. This results in feeding difficulty and affects growth and development, thereby increasing maternal anxiety and depression. The results reveal that early micro-breastfeeding can effectively improve the growth rate of preterm infants with low-birth-weight and alleviate mothers’ negative emotions.
