Abstract:

This interactive workshop aims to educate lactation professionals on infant stooling norms by examining both historical and global perspectives, as well as modern expectations. Participants will gain insights into how human milk, antibiotics, diet changes, and supplements influence stooling frequency, color, and consistency. The session will also cover low-risk management techniques to enhance infant gastrointestinal function and alleviate symptoms of discomfort and colic. Additionally, attendees will learn to differentiate between constipation, dyschezia, and other functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), and understand how effective feeding support can be integrated into care coordination to improve infant well-being.
