Nutritional Needs of Preterm Infants: Feeding Choices and Dietary Transitions

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Preterm infants are at risk for poor growth and neurodevelopment. Optimal nutrition is vital to contributing to catch-up growth, however, many low birth weight babies are discharged from the hospital with suboptimal feeding regimens or clinicians and parents are unaware of how to optimize nutrition for preterm infants. This activity will explore formula and breastmilk choices for preterm infants and contrast them with practices for standard term infants. Additionally, special cases will be highlighted that illustrate best practices when transitioning preterm infants to standard term formula and continuing breastfeeding upon return to work. This webcast is designed to educate healthcare providers on strategies to improve preterm infant nutritional practices. To address current practice gaps, Dr. Groh-Wargo addresses common concerns and issues confronted by mothers and other caregivers.
