Insufficient Milk Volumes & Slow Gaining Infants: Which Comes First? Intake or Supply?

Price: $45

This 2.5-hour course equips you to identify potential breastfeeding challenges that might impact weight gain. We'll explore early signs that could indicate feeding difficulties, such as infrequent stools or poor latch. Learn about the most common causes of low milk production in the first weeks postpartum. The course clarifies the normal fluctuations in milk volume throughout the first year and sets realistic expectations for weight gain in exclusively breastfed babies. We'll delve into strategies for developing personalized feeding plans for infants who aren't gaining enough weight. Finally, you'll gain skills to provide supportive counseling to new parents struggling with milk production, empowering them on their lactation journey.
This course is part of Foundations for Best Practice in Lactation Care.
Great learning module, very interesting case studies and a very emotional viewpoint of a woman who had inadequate amount of breastmilk for her twin boys.
A wonderful learning opportunity, especially when it comes to working with moms who have tried it all and are still having difficulty with nursing and adequate breast milk production.
Really great case studies and rich content!
