Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of pediatricians, neonatologists, nurses, dietitians and other healthcare providers involved in neonatal and childhood health.
Program Overview
During this presentation, expert faculty provide an overview of recent updates to neonatal nutrition guidelines, with an emphasis on the differences from prior editions. You will learn about the importance of optimizing nutrition in preterm infants and the benefits of an evidence-based approach to human milk fortification. A variety of strategies for achieving these goals is reviewed, including individualized supplementation of select macro- and micronutrients. A multidisciplinary panel then discusses ways in which NICU teams can apply best practices to neonatal nutrition, including recommendations for optimizing cross-functional communication, family education, discharge planning, and follow-up.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Understand the typical nutrient profile of preterm, term, and donor human milk
- Assimilate new learnings from human milk research on the nutrient composition of human milk, including its variability, dynamicity, and factors that influence its components
- Provide improved growth and nutrition-related outcomes to premature infants, leveraging the variety of human milk fortification strategies available
- Evaluate the role of the healthcare team in optimizing nutrition to support growth and development
