Applying New Learnings on Human Milk Composition to Clinical Practice in the NICU
Free CE Presentation and Breakfast Symposium

During their presentation, Drs. Fernando Moya and Brian Stansfield will provide an overview of recent updates to neonatal nutrition guidelines, with an emphasis on the differences from prior editions. You will then learn about the importance of optimizing nutrition in preterm infants and the benefits of an evidence-based approach to human milk fortification. A variety of strategies for achieving these goals will be reviewed, including individualized supplementation of select macro- and micronutrients.

Why it Matters

Human milk is optimal for preterm infants due to its ability to offer protection against potentially life-threatening complications such as necrotizing enterocolitis. However, the concentration of many nutrients in human milk—whether mother’s own milk or donor milk—falls short of meeting those required to support growth and development. To achieve growth targets for preterm infants, macro- and micronutrient supplementation is a critical component of an adequate nutrition care plan.

Space is Limited

Those arriving first will be accommodated. There are no reserved seats.
