The Incubator đźź CHNC 2023 COVERAGE - Talking about neonatal nutrition with Neonatologists Amy Hair and Daniel Robinson
Amy Hair and Daniel Robinson, join us to share with us the essentiality of a standardized feeding program for infants, the what are the consequences when infants "fall off" protocol, and the ways of measuring the effectiveness of these feeding programs. Our guests express their aspirations for unified feeding guidelines and share invaluable lessons learned from their participation in this year's CHNC Symposium.
In the episode's second half, we pivot the conversation towards the significance of patience in an infant's recovery journey from cholestasis. We explore the role of bilirubin levels and the life-saving importance of a mother's milk in an infant's survival rate. The episode also delves into the application of oral immune therapy for babies receiving milk drops, and the urgent need for research on its efficacy for babies with intestinal failures. Amy and Daniel highlight the necessity of fortifying feeds for infants and the potential influence of family nutrition on an infant's health.
