About this event
Webinar Overview:
This seminar will provide evidence and pragmatic tips on the NICU transition that’s on the forefront of every parent’s mind: when will my baby eat by mouth so they can go home? We’ll discuss getting baby to breast in the NICU, giving clinicians the tools to fight the common NICU mantra that babies can go home and “work on breastfeeding later.” Learn how to support parents’ breastfeeding goals while in the NICU to set them up for success after discharge!
Objectives:
- Goals and expectations for transitioning off NG/OG feeds
- Evidence for direct breastfeeding in the NICU and relationship to long-term lactation success
- Common questions about the transition to breastfeeding, like "Is my baby getting enough?” “What about Nipple confusion?” and “How do I breastfeed on fortified feeds?"
