The present invention relates to a system device and method for monitoring infant oral motor kinetics (OMK), which can be used to assess the functional significance of the different sucking components, i.e., the plasticity of infant sucking skills in relation to their oral feeding performance, at a particular time, during the developmental period and/or during preventive or therapeutic intervention programs. It is a unique system and apparatus that provides a means to study the nonnutritive and/or nutritive sucking skills, i.e., the Suction and/or Expression components of sucking, of infants in the natural setting, i.e., during a normal feeding session. OMK sensors, tracked in real-time by the monitoring system, include miniature pressure transducers, or pressure sensitive pads, attached to the nipple for measuring intraoral pressure pulses during Suction, and for measuring compression/stripping pressure pulses during Expression; and a miniature flow sensor for measuring fluid flow rate, which can be integrated over time to determine the volume of milk removed (bolus) per suck. Other signals, such as respiration, swallowing, thermal, optical, and acoustic signals can be recorded and compared along with the instrumented-nipple signals, in an OMK monitoring system.La présente invention concerne un dispositif de système et un procédé pour surveiller la cinétique motrice orale (CMO) d'un nourrisson, qui peuvent être utilisés pour évaluer la signification fonctionnelle des différentes composantes de succion, c'est-à-dire la plasticité des compétences de succion d'un nourrisson en relation avec ses performances d'alimentation orale, à un moment particulier, pendant la période développementale et/ou pendant des programmes d'intervention préventifs ou thérapeutiques. Il s'agit d'un système et d'un appareil uniques qui procurent un moyen d'étudier les compétences de succion non nutritive et/ou nutritive, c'est-à-dire les composantes de succion et/ou d'expression, de nourriss
