Objective 1: Describe the theoretical framework that can give us useful information for a timely and appropriate diagnosis of Insufficient Glandular Tissue;
Objective 2: Demonstrate and support the best way possible for the dyad to achieve a healthful breastfeeding experience;
Objective 3: Apply useful tools that can help achieve the personal goals
Breastfeeding is the normative way to feed babies all over the world. We have access to a large amount of scientific evidence that supports it. Advocates of breastfeeding such as health care professionals that protect, promote and support the breast/chest feeding dyad can struggle sometimes with women or babies who cannot breastfeed as the World Health Organization suggests. Mothers with low milk supply are often supported by family, friends and health care with well meaning advice and remedies to help them do their best. Women who have insufficient glandular tissue (IGT) struggle with their milk supply, despite good breastfeeding management. It is common to see families with this issue during their second or third lactation failure without really understanding what might be going wrong. These babies can have dehydration in the neonatal period, hypernatremia or even death without anybody that could help with a correct diagnosis or help with achievable goals that can benefit both mother and baby. It is of great importance to help with accurate diagnosis that can also benefit psychologically and can help parents choose to continue breastfeeding with breast/ chest supplementation.

Topic: Oral Colostrum Care as an Immunological Intervention in the NICU - [View Abstract]
Objective 1: Discuss the medical challenges related to congenital heart disease with respect breastfeeding and breastmilk feeding
Objective 2: Use the tools for supporting mothers who have infants diagnosed with congenital heart disease to encouraged pumping/feeding for their infants
Objective 3: List different methods for feeding a baby with cardiac disease: gavage, bottle feeding, or direct breastfeedings
Breastfeeding can sometimes be challenging for some families even when baby and mother are healthy. The immunological and nutritional benefits provided by breast milk must be considered when feeding any baby; it is by far the best start for babies that have any other disease where they can tend to suffer from multiple respiratory infections and other medical complications putting babies’ health, wellbeing and lives at risk. When there is a baby with a congenital cardiac disease we can face a lack of evidence and homogenous practices regarding breastfeeding. Many mothers feel helpless and many surgeons and cardiologists are not convinced that breastfeeding is better and easier for the infant with congenital heart disease. They are uncomfortable with not knowing the volume baby consumes and are not used to observing oxygen saturation and heart rate when the baby is feeding at the breast. Current challenges in treating patients with chronic conditions include the prioritization of breastfeeding, identification of the most effective nutritional interventions, and the prevention or recovery of acquired growth failure.
Children with congenital heart disease who breastfeed have better growth, shorter hospital stays, and higher oxygen saturations than children with congenital heart disease who receive formula. It is necessary to support these families with evidenced based information to promote and support breastfeeding to all mothers and babies. Create programs to meet the needs of these vulnerable babies and train surgical and pediatric staff of the neonatal surgery unit so they can support and facilitate multidisciplinary work.

Topic: Oral Colostrum Care as an Immunological Intervention in the NICU - [View Abstract]
Objective 1: Describe what the literature says about antenatal breastmilk expression
Objective 2: Discuss the complexity of induction of labor.
Objective 3: Describe useful tools for mothers and health professional for antenatal breastmilk expression.
Antenatal breastmilk expression may be suggested to mothers, including mothers with diabetes and obesity to improve breastfeeding and maternal and infant outcomes postpartum. It can be a tool for use in these special circumstances, collecting colostrum prenatally can permit supplementation of newborns at risk for hypoglycemia at birth, reducing the use of formula. It is important also to know that teaching mothers hand expression techniques prenatally improves breastfeeding rates. Other clinical cases that can benefit from this practice are women with insufficient glandular tissue, polycystic ovaries, and mothers who have breast surgery. Learn more about the current literature on antenatal milk extraction, the complexity of labour induction and whether there is any truth to the belief that it is not possible to stimulate the nipples during pregnancy because it could start labor, and how and when to implement antenatal milk extraction in practice.

Topic: Oral Colostrum Care as an Immunological Intervention in the NICU - [View Abstract]
1. Analyze the literature about oral colostrum care.
2. Explain the importance of immunity, neurosensorial integration and feeding in preterm babies.
3. Describe the clinical administration of oral colostrum care.
Breastmilk must be the food for every human on earth. During the last decades we have been learning much more about the immunoprotective and immunomodulating properties of human milk, specifically colostrum. With advancements in neonatal care, we also have new challenges. As health care professionals it is an ethical responsibility to protect and promote breastfeeding practices for every family. Oral colostrum care is the use of own mother's colostrum in the cheeks and mouth of the baby not for a feeding purpose. It is an opportunity to initiate an immunological intervention in small or sick babies, allowing interaction of immunological properties with the linfoid tissue, promoting and improving microbiome and immune response. The mother and the family can also benefit from this intervention improving and enhancing integral participation and prevalence of breastfeeding in the long term.

Objective 1: Describe the risk factors and clinical features observed in neonatal jaundice.
Objective 2: List different signs and symptoms that can accompany neonatal jaundice and may indicate severe jaundice or complications.
Objective 3: Describe how to support breastfeeding dyads with rational and evidence based information regarding jaundice.
The yellow colour on the skin and eyes in the newborn is called newborn jaundice, which is common and usually harmless. It develops often 2 days after birth and it must be ruled out during the newborn physical examination. However, in a small number of babies, being jaundiced can be due to a more serious underlying condition that needs to be assessed and urgently determined if treatment is needed as there could be a risk for brain damage. An early assessment and adequate support to the family is crucial to protect the breastfeeding dyad. Learn more about the risk factors and clinical features observed with neonatal jaundice and the current guidelines for treatment.
