Jaundice, Hyperbilirubinemia and Human Milk Feeding
The knowledge you need to counsel families
As many as 40 percent of human milk fed infants develop jaundice. Do you know how to assess and counsel parents about this potentially serious condition — while simultaneously protecting and promoting breast- or chest feeding for families who desire it? This course prepares you to do just that. Sekeita Lewis-Johnson, DNP, FNP-BC, IBCLC, offers clear, detailed explanations reflecting the most up-to-date scientific evidence on:
- The physiology of jaundice
- Hyperbilirubinemia, kernicterus, and bilirubin encephalopathy
- Jaundice and neurotoxicity risk factors
- Assessment, treatment, and prevention of jaundice
- Jaundice and breastfeeding, including the prevention of unnecessary supplementation
Although jaundice is a potentially serious condition, evidence shows that most parents know little about it. Knowledge is power, and with the information in this lesson, you will be able to confidently counsel families.
