Summary of course:

This webinar uses the SOFFI® Algorithms to provide a pathway to support infants during oral feedings. Evidence-based interventions to support oral feedings are provided in this webinar. Interventions include creating feeding plans, flow rate considerations, positioning, pacing, thickeners, and breast-feeding interventions.

Course Objectives

  • Identify at least one reported outcome of implementing feeding plans
  • Identify at least two evidence-based interventions for bottle and/or breast feeding
  • List at least two reasons why a feeding may be stopped
  • Describe optimal alignment of head, body, extremities
  • Discuss at least one benefit of side-lying positioning during feeding
  • List the two types of pacing
  • Describe how to correctly do regulated pacing
  • Describe at least one danger of using thickeners with the premature population
  • Identify at least two benefits of using human milk
  • Describe at least two evidence-based interventions for breast feeding
