Description
On June 24th, 2022 from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM PST BreastfeedLA presents The Ultimate Marathon: Supporting Mothers Who Want to Breastfeed in the NICU, a webinar featuring Raylene Phillips, MD, MA, FAAP, FABM, IBCLC.
With all we know about the nutritional, therapeutic, and neuroprotective properties of breastmilk, as well as its role in supporting bonding and attachment, how can we best support mothers in the NICU who want to breastfeed their premature or sick babies?
In this presentation, we will discuss evidence-based ways to help NICU mothers achieve optimal milk supply, as well as practical ways NICU staff can help to increase human milk nutrition in the NICU. We will describe ways to support use of early colostrum as oral care for extremely preterm infants. Lastly, we will describe a Preterm Breastfeeding Pathway to support NICU mothers in successfully breastfeeding their babies prior to discharge without delaying time to full oral feeds or increasing length of stay.
Participants will be awarded 1.75 L-CERPS & 2 Contact Hours.
Objectives:
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Discuss 4 ways to support optimal milk supply for NICU mothers
- Describe 4 ways to increase the use of human milk nutrition in the NICU
