  • Very Low Birth Weight Infants
    Intensive Care Nursery House Staff Manual Very Low and Extremely Low Birthweight Infants INTRODUCTION and DEFINITIONS: Low birth weight infants are those born weighing less than 2500 g. These are further subdivided into: •Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW): Birth weight <1,500 g •Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW): Birth weight <1,000 g Obstetrical history (LMP, sonographic dating), newborn physical examination, and examination for maturational age (Ballard or Dubowitz) are critical data to differentiate premature LBW from more mature growth-retarded LBW infants. Survival statistics for ELBW infants correlate with gestational age. Morbidity statistics for growth-retarded VLBW infants correlate with the etiology and the severity of the growth-restriction. PREVALENCE: The rate of VLBW babies is increasing, due mainly to the increase in prematurely-born multiple gestations, in part related to assisted reproductive techniques. The distribution of LBW infants is shown in the Table: ________________________________________________________________________ Table. Prevalence by birth weight (BW) of LBW babies. Percentage of Percentage of Births Birth Weight (g) Total Births with BW <2,500 g <2,500 7.6% 100% 2,000-2,500 4.6% 61% 1,500-1,999 1.5% 20% 1,000-1,499 0.7% 9.5% 500-999 0.5% 7.5% <500 0.1% 2.0% ________________________________________________________________________ CAUSES: The primary causes of VLBW are premature birth (born <37 weeks gestation, and often <30 weeks) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), usually due to problems with placenta, maternal health, or to birth defects. Many VLBW babies with IUGR are preterm and thus are both physically small and physiologically immature. RISK FACTORS: Any baby born prematurely is more likely to be very small.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE. Although it is well documented that breastfeeding promotes health and development of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, lactation initiation among mothers of VLBW infants is low. Mothers are anxious about the health of their www.pediatrics.org/cgi/doi/10.1542/ peds.2005-0267 children, and medical staff may be reluctant to promote breastfeeding out of doi:10.1542/peds.2005-0267 concern for increasing that anxiety. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to Key Words examine whether mothers of VLBW infants who initially planned to formula feed very low birth weight, lactation, were different in terms of their level of anxiety and maternal stress compared with anxiety, counseling, human milk mothers who had planned to breastfeed their infants. The aims of this study were Abbreviations VLBW—very low birth weight to (1) determine whether counseling mothers of VLBW infants who had initially IFG—initial formula feed group planned to formula feed on the benefits of breast milk would increase their stress IBG—initial breastfeed group and anxiety levels, (2) assess whether mothers who initially had not planned to STAI—State-Trait Anxiety Inventory PSS-NICU—Parental Stress Scale: breastfeed changed their plans after counseling to provide breast milk, and (3) Neonatal Intensive Care Unit measure the amount of breast milk expressed by mothers who initially planned to WIC—Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and formula feed.

  • Bright Futures: Nutrition Supervision
    BRIGHT FUTURES: NUTRITION Nutrition Supervision 17 FUTURES Bright BRIGHT FUTURES: NUTRITION Infancy Infancy 19 FUTURES Bright BRIGHT FUTURES: NUTRITION Infancy Infancy CONTEXT Infancy is a period marked by the most rapid growth and physical development experi- enced throughout life. Infancy is divided into several stages, each of which is unique in terms of growth, developmental achievements, nutrition needs, and feeding patterns. The most rapid changes occur in early infancy, between birth and age 6 months. In middle infancy, from ages 6 to 9 months, and in late infancy, from ages 9 to 12 months, growth slows but still remains rapid. During the first year of life, good nutrition is key to infants’ vitality and healthy develop- ment. But feeding infants is more than simply offering food when they are hungry, and it serves purposes beyond supporting their growth. Feeding also provides opportunities for emotional bonding between parents and infants. Feeding practices serve as the foundation for many aspects of family development (ie, all members of the family—parents, grandparents, siblings, and the infant—develop skills in responding appropriately to one another’s cues). These skills include identifying, assessing, and responding to infant cues; promoting reciprocity (infant’s responses to parents, grand- parents, and siblings and parents’, grandparents’, and siblings’ responses to the infant); and building the infant’s feeding and pre-speech skills. When feeding their infant, parents gain a sense of responsibility, experience frustration when they cannot interpret the infant’s cues, and develop the ability to negotiate and solve problems through their interactions with the infant. They also expand their abilities to meet their infant’s needs.

Feel free to consult your text material if you need assistance in recapitulating. I. FEEDING OF NORMAL BIRTH WEIGHT BABIES 1. INTRODUCTION The best milk for a newborn baby is unquestionably the breast milk. All healthy normal weight babies (> 2500g) must be exclusively breastfed till the age of 6 months. Health professionals must have adequate knowledge and skills in order to support and help mothers in establishing breastfeeding successfully. 2. BREASTFEEDING It is essential to help the mothers of healthy newborn babies to establish breastfeeding as soon as possible after delivery. Health workers should know about the advantages of breast milk, the anatomy of breast and physiology of lactation so that they can teach and counsel the mothers with confidence.

Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from SAGE. This version of the document is not the version of record. *** Abstract: Breastfeeding is critical for the healthy growth and development of infants. A diverse range of infant-feeding methods are used around the world today. Many methods involve feeding infants with expressed human milk obtained through human milk exchange. Human milk exchange includes human milk banking, human milk sharing, and markets in which human milk may be purchased or sold by individuals or commercial entities. In this review, we examine peer- reviewed scholarly literature pertaining to human milk exchange in the social sciences and basic human milk sciences. We also examine current position and policy statements for human milk sharing. Our review highlights areas in need of future research. This review is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and others who provide evidence-based care to families about infant feeding. Keywords: human milk | human milk expression | infant-feeding patterns | lactation | milk banking | breastfeeding Article: Key Messages • Breastfeeding is critical for the healthy growth and development of infants, but it is not always possible or desired.

  • Preterm Infant Hepatitis B Vaccination and Serology Schedule
    Preterm Infant Hepatitis B Vaccination and Serology Schedule Preterm infants weighing less than 2000 grams are vaccinated for hepatitis B based on the mother’s hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) status. In particular, please note: . Give doses due at the indicated ages regardless of whether the infant remains hospitalized. If using Pediarix, do not administer before 6 weeks of age. Give the final dose of hepatitis B vaccine on or after 6 months of age and not before. Do post-vaccination serology (both HBsAg and anti-HBs) one to two months after the last vaccine dose, but not before the child is 9 months of age. Note: When preterm infants require a birth dose (i.e., born to HBsAg positive mother or mother with unknown status), they will need an additional three doses due to low birth weight. Maternal Vaccination and serology recommendations HBsAg status Positive • Administer HBIG (hepatitis B immune globulin) and single-antigen hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours of birth. • Administer three additional hepatitis B vaccine doses with: − Engerix-B or Recombivax HB at ages 1, 2-3, and 6 months, or − Pediarix at ages 2, 4, and 6 months − Post-vaccination serology (HBsAg and anti-HBs) 1-2 months after last dose, but not before 9 months of age Unknown • Administer HBIG and single-antigen hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours of birth. • Test the mother for HBsAg. • Administer three additional hepatitis B vaccine doses with: − Engerix-B or Recombivax HB at ages 1, 2-3, and 6 months, or − Pediarix at ages 2, 4, and 6 months − If mother’s HBsAg test comes back positive, perform post-vaccination serology (HBsAg and anti-HBs) 1-2 months after last dose, but not before 9 months of age.

    Women’s History Review, vol. 28, issue 7 (November 2019), pp. 1157-1176 [https://doi.org/10.1080/09612025.2019.1641671] Modern Mothers, Modern Babies: Breastfeeding and Mother’s Milk in Interwar Britain1 Katharina Rowold Department of Humanities University of Roehampton London SW15 5PH [email protected] Abstract: In 1938, an obituary of Frederic Truby King, the New Zealand doctor who had founded the Mothercraft Training Society in London in 1918 announced that he had ‘hypnotise[d] thousands of mothers into the belief that breast feeding is the important factor in infant care…’ (Mother and Child, March 1938: 454). Truby King was an influential figure in the promotion of ‘scientific breastfeeding’, and this article investigates the position of breastfeeding in infant welfare and infant care advice directed at middle-class mothers in the interwar period. Positioned as the ‘natural’ way of feeding infants, breastfeeding was concurrently represented as the ‘modern’ and ‘scientific’ way of safeguarding babies’ healthy development.

Neonatal jaundice, the yellow coloration of the sclera and skin Its efficiency in decreasing plasma bilirubin concentration is caused by hyperbilirubinemia, is one of the most common well documented, and NNPT leads to greatly reduced conditions confronting neonatologists daily. About 60% of exchange transfusion rates for neonates with hyperbilirubine- term and 80% of preterm infants develop jaundice in the first mia. It is generally accepted that the side effects of NNPT are week of life [74]. Bilirubin encephalopathy is a devastating not serious and seem to be well controlled. This review will brain injury, which can cause permanent neurodevelopmental focus on these possible side effects as well as the approaches handicaps [62]. Fortunately, a noninvasive and easily to minimize them. available treatment, neonatal phototherapy (NNPT), is effective in degrading unconjugated bilirubin. Following Keywords Jaundice .
