Optimal Growth and Nutrition in the NICU Using Mother's (Parent's) Own Milk

We cordially invite you to join Dr. Jae kim, the fourth webinar in our five-part series "Bridging Human Milk Research to Increase Human Milk in the NICU."  

The delivery of the best practices for human milk nutrition in the NICU is an ongoing challenging commitment. Nutrition has lots of variability in practice as there is less evidence to help guide practice than in other areas. Nevertheless, standardizing best practices is better care and we can learn from quality improvement science to accelerate our efforts to build in these best practices.

This webinar will discuss the pragmatic quality improvement framework that can be used in your unit to incorporate the best practices in human milk delivery, nutrition and infant feeding to ensure the best outcomes for your babies.
