Managing Weight Gain in the Breastfed Infant Lecture Pack
Infant weight gain is a critical marker of feeding progress, and any professionals working with chest/breastfeeding families need to know how to monitor, assess, and intervene for positive outcomes when necessary. We have gathered expert speakers Prashant Gangal, Shel Banks, and Mary Ryngaert to discuss the latest evidence on why and how we use infant weight charts, what they can tell us and what they can't, and how to intervene when weight gain is inadequate.
Advance your understanding of why and how we track infant growth and the consequences when infant growth falters. Learn more about how to implement an effective care plan when working with a baby with poor weight gain and consolidate your knowledge by working through clinical case studies.
Important: Please note that this package is available on the GOLD Learning CE website as "GOLD Learning Day: Managing Weight Gain in the Breastfed Infant". If you have previously purchased and viewed this series of lectures, you will not be able to claim another accreditation certificate again.

Abstract:View Full Presentation InformationWhen an infant does not gain weight or loses weight there are many factors to consider. Lactation professionals, working in tandem with anxious families and health care providers can help to problem-solve to determine what the issues are and how best to address these so that infant health is promoted and the family's plan to breastfeed is supported.
This presentation will offer three clinical scenarios that Lactation professionals may encounter—the newborn who does not gain well initially, the four-week-old infant who begins losing weight after normal gain in the first weeks, and the infant who does not gain well despite interventions. For each infant, there will be discussion regarding the possible reasons for poor gain, suggested clinical interventions, and communication strategies with the family and providers. -

Any adversity has a profound impact on physical, mental & psychological outcomes for entire life. Growth Charts are the meter of infant's Nutrition-Health-Nurturing & reflect any adversity. Hence, tracking infant growth is important.
The World Health Organization (WHO) released new international growth standards in 2006 to monitor growth of children 0-59 months of age. All Health Care Providers should use these charts to complement Infant & Young Child Nutrition (IYCN) Counselling. Every growth chart has a story to tell. I found WHO growth charts to be accurate and extremely useful for knowing past events and use the information to promote optimal growth and development in future. Every contact with the child in general & especially immunization is an opportunity to discuss nutrition & development. The concepts of Severe Acute Malnutrition and Mild Acute Malnutrition (SAM-MAM) need to be understood.
The Infant feeding professionals should also understand science behind WHO Growth Charts and how to use this information for ideal IYCN Counselling. Prematurely born infants need different charts for monitoring growth during infancy & experts need to be aware about the current concepts & opinions of monitoring growth of Premature & Low Birth Weight infants. Impact of individual components of breastmilk on growth is the new science frontier. -

Topic: Care Plan Development for Weight Concerns in the Breastfed Infant: A Family Centred Approach - [View Abstract]
Abstract:View Full Presentation InformationWhen families are breastfeeding, all too often any concerns about weight gain quickly result in suggestions of formula supplementation; in this session we will look at ways to keep babies exclusively breastfed whilst protecting their health and their growth, promoting empowerment and satisfaction of the parents, and how to delicately and supportively advocate for the baby when exclusive breastfeeding may actually not be possible.
Understanding how to develop effective and supportive evidence-based care plans for babies whose weight and/or growth is faltering, is absolutely key to the toolkit of those who are working with breastfeeding babies. Find out more in this presentation.
