39
Q

treatment with mastitis

A

abx, heat, massage, cont to feed, fluids, pain relievers

40
Q

causes of mastitis

A

milk stasis, nipple trauma, engorgement, maternal fatigue/stress

41
Q

A

1-2oz every 2-3hrs in the first days of life

2.5oz for every lb

follow hunger cues

42
Q

Types of formula

A

iron-fortified

cow’s milk: Similac,Enfamil

soy-based: prosobee, isomil

partially hydrolyzed formula (decreases daily crying w colic)
nutramgien, alimentin

amnio-acid
neocate/ elecare

specialize:
pre-thickened (reflux), low iron, low lactose
-help infants sleep

43
Q

how to prep/store

A

do not want baby laying down (prop up baby not bottle)

A

reflux, constipation, colic

45
Q

reflux

A

75% can have this, NORMAL (immature GI tract)
might need to change the formula (change from cow-soy or hydrolyze)
cow milk protein allergy
“happy spitters”

<3mon and before 6mon

> 4 reguritation = evaluate

46
Q

treatment for reflux

A

frequent feeds, burps
try pre-thickened formula

zantac, famotidine

FTT
bloody stools
abdominal distension

53
Q

59
Q

conjugated

A

direct, undergone the chemical changes, moving to intestines
(always PATHOLOGIC)

60
Q

jaudice

the marker to identify the risk of hyperbilirubinemia

61
Q

causes of hyperbili

Q

Symptoms of hyperbili

A

yellow skin, sclera (more severe)
itchy skin
pale stools
drowsiness
dark urine
poor suck

delayed nursing can cause hyperbili*
