Product Description
In the first part of this well-referenced
monograph, Marsha Walker, RN, IBCLC
describes the late preterm infant, discusses
contributors to late preterm birth, and
explains the importance of the last six weeks
of gestation. She discusses the impact of
birth interventions on breastfeeding the late
preterm infant and explains why mothers of
late preterm infants may be at increased risk
of delayed lactogenesis II. In the second
part of the monograph, Walker discusses
breastfeeding management guidelines for
the late preterm infant. This includes issues
the late preterm infant may face, such as
hypothermia, hypoglycemia, respiratory
instability, hypotonia, and immature
feeding skills, and their impact on
breastfeeding. She covers how to provide
latch assistance, assess feedings at the
breast, when to supplement, how to use
bottles and artificial nipples, how to help
others initiate and maintain maternal milk
supply, and ways to optimize milk
production. Walker includes information
on individualized feeding plans for moms
to follow after discharge, including a
sample plan. This monograph is full of
pictures, graphs, and resources and is a
must-have for all healthcare providers
who help mothers breastfeed late
preterm infants. |
