About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Infant Feeding Workshop".

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about infant feeding, the practice of providing food and nutrition to infants, typically up to the age of 12 months. Infants require a specific balance of nutrients to support their growth and development, and feeding practices during this time can have a significant impact on their health and well-being.

Breastfeeding is widely recognized as the optimal way to feed infants, as breast milk provides all the necessary nutrients and antibodies for a babys growth and development, while also reducing the risk of certain health problems for both mother and baby. However, in some cases, formula feeding may be necessary or preferred due to medical conditions, lifestyle factors, or personal choice.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of an infants life, with continued breastfeeding alongside complementary foods for up to two years or beyond. Complementary foods are introduced gradually, starting at around six months of age, to provide additional nutrients and help infants learn to eat solid foods.

It is important to ensure that infants are fed in a safe and appropriate manner, with appropriate hygiene practices and age-appropriate foods. It is also essential to monitor infants growth and development and seek medical advice if there are any concerns or issues with feeding.

Slide 1-

Infant Feeding Workshop Welcome Infant Feeding Team West Suffolk Hospital June 2020
Slide 2-

Welcome to our infant feeding information resource pack for you and your family. As you become a parent your behaviour is both instinctive and learned. Whilst some of you may have benefited from handling and caring for babies in the past, many will experience this for the first time when holding your baby following birth. This resource is offered as one measure in supporting you to feed in a way that is both effective and responsive to the needs of your developing baby. As you work through the following slides and video links please record any questions that you may wish to raise with your community midwife at your next discussion or meeting?
Slide 3-

The aim of the package is to provide information to guide you in your choice and enhance your understanding of infant feeding. As you work through it you will have the opportunity to consider: What are the benefits of breastfeeding and could it be for me? What is responsive feeding and how do I prepare for this during pregnancy? You and your baby immediately after birth and the use of skin to skin contact How best to position your baby for a feed and ensure that attachment at your breast is effective How to tell that feeding is going well Expressing and storing colostrum and breastmilk Challenges to breastfeeding
Slide 4-

Why do health professionals recommend breastfeeding and breastmilk as the optimum choice for your baby? The benefits of breastmilk are explained on the following NHS link https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/benefits-breastfeeding/ They include a reduced risk of infections and hospital admission for your child and for you the risk of breast/ovarian cancer and osteoporosis is lowered. For both of you, obesity and cardiovascular disease is less prevalent. Follow this video for the thoughts of Tiny Human Productions: A creative collective of parents https://vimeo.com/190696865
Slide 5-

Breastmilk is cheaper and requires no preparation. Your baby: Receives immunoglobulins( antibodies that protect against infection) and microbes that colonise and protect the bowel (friendly bacteria) in the breastmilk Is at reduced risk of ear, gastro-intestinal, chest and urine infections than a formula fed baby Is at reduced risk of developing severe asthma and eczema Benefits from feeding at the breast with improved speech and dental development Learns how to moderate and interpret food, so is less likely to become obese or develop diabetes and more readily accepts weening foods.

Pregnancy: getting ready 1 Responding to your baby’s needs releases the love hormone Oxytocin that helps the development of nerve connections in the brain. Consider how you will meet these perhaps using those suggested below to start with?

Getting feeding off to a good start Skin to skin and first feed Holding your baby in skin to skin after birth regulates temperature, heart rate and breathing. It helps your baby transition to life outside of your womb and provides opportunity for them to follow instinctive behaviours to seek out the breast and self attach to feed. *If you have had a long or complicated labour and/or drugs used that have a sedative effect on your baby more skin to skin time and help attaching to your breast may be needed The sheet to the left page is reproduced with permission of The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust. It shows the developmental stages your baby will go through immediately following birth. Note that the eighth of the nine stages suckling, or feeding, occurs upwards of an hour after birth* Ask your midwife about the biological nurturing position which is useful in stimulating these stages.

*Urates are a dark pink/red substance that many babies pass in the first couple of days. At this age they are not a problem, however if they go beyond the first couple of days you should tell your midwife as that may be a sign that your baby is not getting enough milk. –see Mothers and others guide for further information Pattern of wet and dirty nappies when breastfeeding is going well
Slide 14-

Most jaundice in babies is not harmful. It is important to check for any signs of yellow colouring usually appearing around the face and forehead, then body, arms and legs. A good time to check is when changing a nappy or clothes. Press your baby’s skin gently to see if you can see a yellow tinge developing. Check the whites of the eyes and the inside of his/her mouth to see if they appear discoloured Contact your midwife if ?
Slide 15-

What if feeding doesn’t go well? Reluctance to feed in your newborn will be carefully monitored in hospital and appropriate advice given. At home if your baby feeds fewer than 6 times in 24 hours, feeds for less than 5 minutes or more than 40 minutes regularly, or shows any of the behaviours shown on the previous slide please seek help immediately and offer skin to skin to prompt a feed.
Slide 16-

Getting positioning and attachment right are important because If you have any concerns or find that you or your baby’s experience does not meet your expectations please ask for early support from your midwife. The next slide shows some of the more common examples of the effects of trauma or poor milk transfer
