Podcasts about Infant feeding

Pediatrician Dr. Stephanie Grice joins Allison to explain how growth charts work, what percentiles really mean, when parents should be concerned, and why healthy growth is about patterns over time, not a single number.  Dr. Grice explains how pediatricians use growth charts to monitor a child's health over time, why percentiles are often misunderstood, and what parents should focus on instead. She also discusses common reasons a pediatrician may become concerned about a child's growth, how growth charts factor into feeding and nutrition conversations, and why growth patterns matter far more than any single number. If you've ever worried that your child is too small, too big, not gaining enough weight, or falling off their curve, this episode will help you better understand what growth charts can, and cannot, tell us. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What growth chart percentiles actually mean Why a higher percentile is not necessarily better How pediatricians evaluate healthy growth over time When a child's growth pattern may warrant further investigation Why genetics play an important role in growth How growth charts are used when evaluating infant feeding concerns The connection between growth, nutrition, and development How growth charts can help guide decisions about dropping night feedings Why parents should avoid obsessing over percentile rankings What pediatricians wish parents understood about growth charts Chapter Markers 01:35 Why Parents Worry About Growth Charts 03:15 What Growth Chart Percentiles Actually Mean 05:40 Is a Higher Growth Percentile Better? 08:10 How Pediatricians Use Growth Charts 10:45 When Should Parents Be Concerned About Growth? 13:30 Why Growth Patterns Matter More Than Percentiles 15:50 Genetics and Your Child's Growth Curve 18:15 How Growth Charts Help Identify Feeding Concerns 20:40 Infant Feeding, Weight Gain, and Growth Monitoring 22:00 Can Growth Charts Help Determine When to Drop Night Feedings? 23:45 The 4-Month Checkup: Questions to Ask Your Pediatrician About Sleep and Feeding 26:00 What Your Pediatrician Wants You to Know About Growth Charts Resources Mentioned Episode 246.

Send us a textIn this Journal Club episode, Ben and Daphna review five recent studies with practical implications for neonatal care. The FEED1 trial examines whether starting full milk feeds from day one is safe in 30-32 week preterm infants, finding no difference in length of stay compared to gradual feeding but fewer central line days. A brief communication from UAB explores high-volume feeding strategies (≥170 ml/kg/day) and their impact on body composition in very preterm infants.The hosts discuss a mannequin study from Italy measuring forces applied during intubation with different laryngoscope types and bed heights, revealing that video laryngoscopy at navel height applies the lowest forces—contrary to most clinicians' perceptions.A large Japanese cohort study highlights the association between maternal psychological distress and neurodevelopmental delays, with postpartum distress showing stronger effects than prenatal stress. Finally, analysis of Neonatal Research Network data identifies predictors of early cord clamping in extremely preterm infants, with lack of magnesium sulfate, cesarean delivery, and antepartum hemorrhage being key factors.The episode wraps with reminders about upcoming conferences, including the Delphi Conference in Fort Lauderdale in January 2026.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

This special episode is part one of host Erin Forward's course titled "Attachment and Infant Feeding: an SLPs Role in Mental Health" through the end of September this course is available for free for listeners of First Bite when you use the code "FBSpecial" at checkout! Earn .2 ASHA CEUs for free with code - FBSpecial: speechtherapypd.com/attachmentOften, SLPs do not fully understand their role in a patient's mental health regarding feeding. We are well aware that counseling is in our scope of practice, but even in the direct therapy we provide, we play a significant role in the mental health of a patient and their caregivers. Both communication and feeding are integral parts of the development of attachment within a caregiver-child dyad, and we have a direct role in those activities. Thus, it is our job to gain greater insight into attachment and infant feeding, specifically to understand how we can support mental health outcomes for both caregiver and child. This course will dive into the deep connections of attachment, feeding, and mental health and how we can cater our therapeutic style and sense of self to support a more healthy bond.

This episode is all about the history of feeding babies which has been necessary and yet surprisingly difficult since the beginning of mankind. In fact, it's so necessary that to forgo it, up until very recently, the last hundred years or so, was a death sentence for the infant. We don't often think about feeding babies. It's something mothers take care of behind the scenes, part of the invisible load. We certainly don't pause to think about the history of it, the immense challenges faced throughout the ages. But we should. As necessary as infant feeding is, as necessary as it has always been, society still does not make it easy for mothers to pull off. And that should concern you, even if you aren't a mother, even if you aren't a baby. Because you were once, and so was I, and so was literally everyone.

About Brittany (in her words) My story is a complex one, with more life experience than I ever dreamed of having. A difficult childhood left me ill equipped to process the difficult things that had happened to me. For years, I turned to addiction and an eating disorder as I had underdeveloped coping skills and a lack of sound guidance. Years of work on myself found me able to cope in healthier ways, but still chasing fleeting fulfillment. My parenting journey led me through miscarriage, parenting children with a rare genetic disorder and the diagnosis of my neurodivergence which left me having to re-parent myself in order to parent my children effectively. Ultimately, becoming a foster parent, taught me the importance of learning about ourselves through our past experiences and helped me to develop tools to help myself cope. In this discovery, I have been able to find consistent fulfillment within my own self-connection and am now teaching others how to do the same. I can be found helping parents in my community through my private practice, Your Feeding Friend LLC, as a Registered Nurse and Inclusive Infant Feeding Educator (Board Certified in Lactation).

The pressures around breastfeeding are strong, but systemic support doesn't always allow moms to feed the way they want to. That's why I was so excited to hear about The State of Feeding, a research-driven report designed to shed light on the real feeding experiences moms are going through. Created as a partnership between Bobbie, Willow, SimpliFed, and Emily Oster, this report reveals so much about expectations, pressure, and the reality of infant feeding. This week on The Momwell Podcast, I'm joined by Sarah O'Leary, CEO of Willow and Andrea Ippolito, CEO and founder of SimpliFed, to discuss the takeaways from the State of Feeding, why moms feel so much pressure around feeding, how to increase support for moms, and why combination feeding is valuable for so many families.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3YhSBRwBook a Free 15 min Consult with a mom therapist: momwell.com Follow Momwell on Instagram: instagram.com/momwell Sign up for our weekly VIP Newsletter: momwell.com/newsletter Register for one of our popular guides and courses: momwell.com/shop Learn more about your ad choices.

Text Dr. Black your questions or comments.This episode of Eat Your Greens with Dr. Black delves into the complexities of food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities in children, emphasizing the differences between them. A personal story from a mother, Carli, highlights the severe reaction (FPIES) her son had to oatmeal, underscoring the challenges parents face when dealing with uncommon food reactions. Dr. Black provides a comprehensive overview of food allergies, detailing how they're an immune response, typically immediate and potentially life-threatening, unlike food intolerances which result from digestive issues and are less severe. The episode also explores the concept of food sensitivity and its vague, non-specific symptoms. Misinformation and the exploitation of parents' concerns by the wellness industry are critiqued, particularly the misuse of IgG tests for diagnosing food allergies. Practical advice is given on diagnosing and managing food allergies and intolerances, with an emphasis on the importance of consulting healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis and avoiding unnecessary dietary restrictions. Additionally, the discussion touches on the genetic and environmental factors contributing to food allergies, and the hopeful message that some food allergies can be outgrown. Finally, the talk highlights how adjustments in diet, based on solid medical advice, can improve symptoms and quality of life.Links for resources and information discussed in the episode:Food Allergy.orgNon-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergyWhat is causing the rise in food allergy?

Hello everyone and welcome back to Voices of Your Village. I get to hang out with Victoria Facelli. She's an IBCLC, is a graduate of the Global Breastfeeding Institute's Lactation Program, and not the kind of lactation consultant who hates formula, which I'm super jazzed about. Right in the intro she said, "this is a book about feeding babies, nothing more, nothing less. It's easy in the early days of parenthood to confuse feeding with parenting." And I love that because I think it's so true and there's so much tied to it. I think we see it with birth and we see it with feeding. And your book that we were just referencing, Feed the Baby: An Inclusive Guide to Nursing, Bottle-Feeding, and Everything In Between, gives families more tools to really be able to navigate this consciously and intentionally. Alright folks, let's dive in.

Hear all about the MOTR approach to baby-led weaning. In this episode, we share our takes on: what we think of baby-led weaninghow it's different from simply “starting solids” overcoming obstacles mothers face when considering solids (fear of choking, allergens, breastfeeding relationships, etc). why we don't care about added sodium for infants and what that evidence actually says (hint: it's inconclusive)how we feel about purée pouches and stereotypical “baby food”why your pediatrician is not the expert on baby-led weaningsigns of readiness and why anything under 6 months old is too young to start solidsStay tuned for part 2 for an even deeper dive on meals we offer our children, BLW hacks, staying the course during travel and dining out, and so much more.Resources:Lily Nichol's article debunking the infant sodium intake mythEpisode #84 of Unapologetically Unmedicated: Buy for Baby, Bye for Mommy with Andrea HaskinsKatie Ferraro's Baby Led Weaning Made Easy Program (not affiliates, but we loved this program nonetheless)DONATE (Thank you!!

How we feed babies and young kids greatly impacts their health, growth, and future. This affects not only the children but also women and society. While baby formula has its uses, and it literally be a life saver in certain circumstances, it also comes with significant health, economic, and environmental costs. On the other hand, breastfeeding has proven health benefits for both mothers and babies in high-income and low-income settings alike. Despite that, according to the World Health Organization, less than half of babies and young children are breastfed as recommended. How did this happen? According to a three-paper series published in The Lancet in 2023, the lack of breastfeeding is due to multifaceted and highly effective strategies used by commercial formula manufacturers of infant formula. The strategies are designed to target and influence parents, health-care professionals, and policy-makers. This episode explores the roots of this problem: the infant formula industry in the early 20th century captured doctors and medical associations in order to sell their product. And when they reached the limit of infant formula market in the United States, they simply aggressively sold their powders to mothers in poor countries, with disastrous and deadly consequences.

Kelly is an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), childbirth educator, author, and volunteer breastfeeding counselor. She has co-authored original research on breastfeeding topics, including access to lactation care, community breastfeeding support, tele-lactation, and community vulnerability, published in numerous top-tier peer-reviewed academic journals.  Kelly's book, Protecting Your Potential for Breastfeeding, published by Praeclarus Press, became available in June 2023. As a lactation consultant, Kelly has provided one-on-one consultations, taught numerous breastfeeding classes, and has conducted nine lactation support groups in five US states, offering evidence-based information, practical support, and compassionate care to hundreds of families since 2008. Kelly is the Curriculum Development Coordinator for Childbirth International.    In this chat, Kelly guides listeners through the various benefits and advantages of natural breastfeeding for infant health and the environment. She breaks down the many wasteful practices employed by big-formula while also offering a sympathetic and understanding voice for mothers who have no other alternative. Tee and Kelly also address the many policies that could positively impact higher breastfeeding rates such as paid family leave. In conclusion, Kelly speaks to the advantages that prolonged breastfeeding has on reducing the number of feminine hygiene products that end up in landfills each month!    Connect with Kelly:  Website LinkedIn Instagram Book ___________________________________ Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Tee's Organics - Therese's Healthy Products for You and Your Home:  The Green Living Gurus Website Instagram Youtube Facebook Healthy Living Group on Facebook Tip the podcaster!

Is it ever “normal” for infants to cough during feeding? Does it make a difference whether they're breastfed or bottle-fed? What should med SLPs actually understand and implement when it comes to infant feeding? Infant feeding and our role as med SLPs is one of my FAVORITE topics to discuss, and my heart practically did a break dance when I got to sit down with Katlyn McGrattan, PhD, CCC-SLP, to discuss THIS very topic! Katlyn is an SLP and a researcher at the University of Minnesota. She lives, eats, and breathes the world of pediatric feeding and swallowing (seriously, as a hobby, she and her husband are developing a medical device to better diagnose infant feeding goals). Tune in to this week's episode of the Swallow Your Pride Podcast where Katlyn discusses research on infant feeding and swallowing disorders, the importance of understanding the physics behind milk flow, and what med SLPs should understand when it comes to working in this corner of our field!
