Breastfeeding Solutions for Preterm and Late Preterm Infants Lecture Pack

Preterm and late preterm infants have unique needs when it comes to feeding. Due to the fact that they are born before their brain, nervous system and body have had a chance to fully mature, they may have issues with things like suck-swallow-breathe coordination, poor muscle tone and disorganized sleep-wake cycles, all of which have an impact on an infant's ability to breastfeed effectively. This puts them at greater risk for complications such as slow weight gain, hypoglycemia, jaundice and failure to thrive. Increase your knowledge in supporting breastfeeding for preterm and late preterm infants.
