- 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 Dr Sarah Bates: Improving survival & outcomes for preterm infants through optimizing early maternal breast milk: A national quality improvement toolkit from BAPM
Dr. Sarah Bates is graduated from University of Wales College of Medicine in 2002 and was appointed in 2015 as a Consultant Paediatrician & Neonatologist in Swindon, where she is now the joint Clinical Lead for Neonatal Medicine. From 2017 to 2021 she was the national representative for local neonatal and special care units (LNU & SCU) to British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM) Executive Committee. In 2021, she was elected as the National Quality Lead for BAPM.
Dr. Bates is a co-author of the 2019 BAPM Extremely Preterm Framework, and she is passionate about perinatal team culture, working together to reduce death and brain injury in preterm infants through implementation of simple, low cost evidence-based interventions, with particular focus on Optimal Cord Management and Early Maternal Breast Milk. She is the PERIPrem Operational Clinical Lead across the South West of England and has been involved in national perinatal preterm optimisation toolkits for BAPM, National Neonatal Audit Programme (NNAP) and MatNeoSIP, chairing both working groups for QI toolkits to optimise Maternal Breast Milk for Preterm Babies.
This program has been approved for 1.0 contact hours; provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, CEP 13692.
This course is CPD (Continuing Professional Development) certified.
Objectives
Upon completion, the participant will be able to
- Presentation of two-part toolkit supporting the implementation of ten core elements to optimize the provision of maternal breastmilk for preterm infants - though neonatal stay, discharge and beyond
- Explain toolkit Part 1, focusing initiation of lactation (antenatal education, parents as partners in their baby’s care, initiation of expressing soon after birth, early colostrum, early regular skin-to-skin contact)
- Summarize toolkit Part 2, providing guidance on sustaining lactation and transitioning to breastfeeding (positive oral touch and non-nutritive sucking, establishing a good milk supply, successful breast milk feeding after discharge)
- Show examples of QI that have been shown to be successful in improving maternal breast milk
- Give examples of how to embed change and sustain momentum including parent experience stories
