When Reflux Becomes Complicated: Interventions for a Breastfed Infant
Free Webinar
Babies with reflux - it's a tale as old as time. We know that many infants have some degree of reflux and that most of these little ones manage without issue.
The big question is, what about the infant who is struggling? When and how do we intervene?
If you're a dietitian working in pediatrics (or you want to be working in peds!), this webinar for you.
Join us for a case study on Jasmine, a breastfed baby with reflux. We'll take you through our decision-making process for infants like Jasmine and share our best reflux management tips and tricks.
This webinar is for you if:
✔️ You have limited prior exposure to infant nutrition
✔️ You feel conflicted as to the best approach for breastfed babies with reflux
✔️ You lack training and/or access to experienced pediatric dietitians
✔️ You want your recommendations to be successful in this vulnerable population
Reflux is likely the most common nutrition-related issue we run into as pediatric dietitians. In the case of baby Jasmine, her growth is faltering and interest in breastfeeding declining.
Now is the time to intervene.
Our goals for baby Jasmine are preservation of breastfeeding while addressing growth and reflux concerns.
Combining our years of experience and the most recent evidence, we'll let you in on the questions we ask, our recommendations and alternatives we consider. It isn't always black and white.
