Based on study showing the ability of using FEES in infant in NICU; so the aim of this study to screen the newborns graduated from NICU using clinical bed side evaluation as well as flexible endoscopic assessment of swallowing to identify the ones suffering from oropharyngeal and / or esophageal dysphagia as well as newborns at risk for aspiration \&aspiration pneumonia to tailor or identify appropriate feeding plan for those high risk popularities and support them
* Population study\& disease condition Newborns that are discharged from NICU and are hemodynamically stable. * Interventions The following study will be conducted in neonatal intensive care unit of Kasr alany and Abu EI-Rish hospital, also conducted in Phoniatrics Outpatient of Kasr alany, Cairo university This study will recruit 75 preterm and 75 fullterm will be recruited in this study; all will be hemodynamically stable on discharge
