Topic: Optimizing the Feeding Abilities of Premature Infants to Support Breastfeeding - [View Abstract]
1. Describe developmental and medical vulnerabilities of preterm and ill term infants that can affect the acquisition of breastfeeding skill.
2. List at least 4 oral motor strategies to improve oral skill for breastfeeding.
3. Explain the effect of respiratory disorders and various types of respiratory support on an infant's ability to learn to breastfeed.
For the baby born prematurely, learning to breast/chestfeed may be more complex. There are factors related to the infant, the environment and to the lactating parent that can make this process more challenging. Many babies often leave the NICU not fully breastfeeding and continue to struggle once at home. This presentation will describe, evidence-based approaches to developing breastfeeding in the premature infant. It will review developmental and co-morbid factors affecting the infant’s feeding acquisition and describe interventions that can be used to improve breastfeeding skill.
