About this Webinar
Maine Public Health Association, Maine Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and Maine State Breastfeeding Coalition are coming together for a discussion around supporting the breastfeeding dyad in the first month of life.
Join us for a refresher on the reasons why human milk is recommended, and how to support families' feeding goals while also ensuring proper weight gain. Hear how experts in the field handle particularly tricky scenarios in the first 4 weeks. From discharge planning before the second stage of lactogenesis starts, to that first post-discharge weight check, and the start of those especially gassy/fussy weeks, learn some different strategies and scripts for supporting families whose goals are to exclusively feed human milk.
What you'll learn
At the end of the recording, participants will be able to:
Review reasons why exclusive human milk feeding is recommended and its connection to obesity prevention.
Discuss appropriate weight loss and identify 3 tools for addressing higher than average weight loss for the exclusively breastfed baby in the first 4 weeks.
Understand when to recommend pumping and/or supplementing in the first 4 weeks of the infant’s life
