Angela Lober PhD, MPH, RN, IBCLC Presentation: Nurturing Late Preterm Infants: Feeding Strategies and Family Support

Abstract: Late preterm infants (LPIs), born between 34 and the end of 36 weeks gestation, may appear term but many face quiet challenges. Effective feeding is at the top of the list (AWHONN, 2024). Yet they are often overlooked due to their birth size and relative stability. With the unplanned birth of an LPI, parents must make a hard shift from their full-term feeding plans to caring for a preterm baby who may benefit from scheduled feeding, therapeutic bottle feedings, and time to achieve exclusive breastfeeding. This talk will take a deep dive into the physiologic and neurologic developmental patterns of LPIs, supportive feeding techniques, and family counseling strategies.
