- Initiation of lactation: Prophylactic lactation support as Standard of Care for mothers of NICU infants (Dr Rebecca Hoban, Canada)
- Improving survival & outcomes for preterm infants through optimizing early maternal breast milk: A national quality improvement toolkit from BAPM (Dr Sarah Bates)
- Prioritizing own mother‘s milk in the neonatal unit: Need for standardized metrics that capture lactation and infant feeding (Prof. Neena Modi)
This webinar features the lecture of Prof. Neena Modi: Prioritizing own mother‘s milk in the neonatal unit: Need for standardized metrics that capture lactation and infant feeding.

Objectives
Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to
- Raise awareness that the extent to which babies receive their own mother’s milk and go home from neonatal care breast-feeding are cardinal outcome metrics
- Explain that evaluating changes in the provision of own mothers milk and the degree to which infants admitted to neonatal units go home breastfeeding requires standardised metrics
- Discuss metrics considered by the roundtable and ways in which neonatal unit staff might capture and use these systematically to drive improvements in care
- Provide examples of challenges in recording data and opportunities provided by data technologies
- Highlight the need for universally accepted quality indicators of lactation and infant feeding in neonatal units
- Emphasise opportunities presented by audit against agreed practice standards using standardised metrics and benchmarking across neonatal units
- Explain how data for audit and benchmarking can also be used to facilitate research to resolve uncertainties in care, and evaluate new treatments and interventions to improve breastfeeding
