D'Ambrosio MA, Neu M. Breast Milk Feeding for Infants Who Required Major Surgery. J Obstet Gynecol Neonatal Nurs 2024:S0884-2175(24)00293-4. [PMID: 39396804 DOI: 10.1016/j.jogn.2024.09.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 09/11/2024] [Accepted: 09/12/2024] [Indexed: 10/15/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify barriers or facilitators that influenced mothers to provide mother's own milk (MOM) for 6 months to their infants who were hospitalized in the NICU after major surgery. DESIGN Descriptive qualitative. SETTING An 80-bed, Level 4 NICU of a regional pediatric hospital in the western United States. PARTICIPANTS Fourteen mothers who provided MOM for their infants who required surgery within 1 week of age. METHODS We conducted in-person interviews upon admission and discharge of the infant, phone interviews 1 and 2 weeks after discharge, and phone interviews monthly for 6 months or until discontinuance of the provision of MOM. We analyzed interviews using the Brooks thematic template analysis method. RESULTS Eleven infants received exclusive MOM at discharge, and nine infants remained on exclusive MOM at 6 months. We generated four principal themes from the participants' comments: Value of Breast Milk, Challenges of Providing MOM, Emotional Fluctuation, and Coping With Reality of Circumstances. CONCLUSION Internalizing the value of MOM, family support, and coping with barriers were key factors that influenced participants to provide MOM for at least 4 months. Findings of this study suggest that prenatal education with anticipatory guidance and lactation support in the NICU can help mothers achieve the goal of extended provision of MOM to infants with serious conditions that require surgery. Education and support may be especially helpful for young, first-time mothers.

Abstract
In patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia1, nutrition can represent a challenge both in the short and long term. Its failure to resolve can have a significant impact on multiple aspects of the lives of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), ranging from lung function to neurodevelopment. In this review, we will describe the causes of nutritional problems in patients with CDH, their consequences, and possible strategies to address them.

A clinical consensus guideline for nutrition in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia from birth through discharge. J Perinatol 2024; 44:694-701.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a consensus guideline to meet nutritional challenges faced by infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). STUDY DESIGN The CDH Focus Group utilized a modified Delphi method to develop these clinical consensus guidelines (CCG). Topic leaders drafted recommendations after literature review and group discussion. Each recommendation was sent to focus group members via a REDCap survey tool, and members scored on a Likert scale of 0-100. A score of > 85 with no more than 25% outliers was designated a priori as demonstrating consensus among the group. RESULTS In the first survey 24/25 recommendations received a median score > 90 and after discussion and second round of surveys all 25 recommendations received a median score of 100. CONCLUSIONS We present a consensus evidence-based framework for managing parenteral and enteral nutrition, somatic growth, gastroesophageal reflux disease, chylothorax, and long-term follow-up of infants with CDH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) are able to breastfeed successfully, the factors that affect feeding human milk across the first year are not well established. PURPOSE The objective of this study was to examine breastfeeding characteristics and their relationships to the exclusivity and duration of feeding human milk among infants with CHD. METHODS Breastfeeding characteristics data from a cohort of 75 infants with CHD enrolled in a study that examined relationships among milk type and infant growth in the first year of life were analyzed. RESULTS Infants whose mothers reported not having enough milk were exclusively fed human milk for a shorter duration than those who did not have this challenge ( P = .04); however, the duration of feeding any human milk did not differ ( P = .18). Average daily volume expressed at 1 month was positively related to the duration of exclusive human milk (β = .07, P = .04) and any human milk (β = .07, P = .04) feeding. CONCLUSIONS Future efforts to support feeding human milk in infants with CHD should emphasize practices that support maximal human milk production.

Froh EB, Spatz DL. Lactation Outcomes After Participation in a Tailored Prenatal Nutrition Consultation Among Women With Infants With Congenital Anomalies. J Obstet Gynecol Neonatal Nurs 2022; 51:590-598. [PMID: 35988697 DOI: 10.1016/j.jogn.2022.07.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 10/15/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe lactation outcomes among of a cohort of mother-infant dyads in which the women had an individualized prenatal nutrition consultation intervention. DESIGN Descriptive cohort study. SETTING A free-standing children's hospital with a center for fetal diagnosis and treatment and a specialized maternity unit. PARTICIPANTS A total of 160 women who had prenatal nutrition consultations in 2014 to 2017 and gave birth to infants with known congenital anomalies and required intensive care after birth. METHODS We surveyed women regarding their lactation outcomes after the Breastfeeding Report Card metrics of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and obtained permission to abstract demographic and clinical information from the setting's electronic health record. We analyzed data with standard descriptive statistics. RESULTS Among the cohort, 86.9% (n = 139) of participants intended to provide human milk or combination feeding in the prenatal period. A total of 128 (92.1%) infants were first exposed to human milk enterally. At the time of discharge, 92.1% (n = 128) of the infants received human milk. The breastfeeding outcomes of the cohort significantly surpassed national data: initiation (98.1% vs. 84.1% national), breastfeeding at 3 months (89.4%), exclusive breastfeeding at 3 months (60% vs. 46.9% national), breastfeeding at 6 months (76.9% vs. 58.3% national), exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months (45% vs. 25.6% national), breastfeeding at 12 months (50.6% vs. 35.3% national), and breastfeeding beyond 12 months (34.4%). CONCLUSIONS Lactation outcomes among women who had prenatal nutrition consultations far surpassed national data, and this intervention has implications for family-centered prenatal care, informed decision making, and improved breastfeeding outcomes in the hospital setting and postdischarge.
