Marsha Walker: Surgical Tech & Neurosurgical Coordinator

Interview on breastfeeding late preterm (sometimes known as 'near term') babies with well known breastfeeding expert Marsha Walker. Was your baby born at 36 or 37 weeks?  Did you struggle with breastfeeding a sleepy and jaundiced baby who took her time to gain weight? Not all late preterm babies follow that pattern, but many do.  And because these babies often look like they're feeding well, hospitals tend to send moms and babies home with little support or guidance, just to re-admit them a few days later for jaundice and poor weight gain. That's why I'm very pleased to present a podcast interview on breastfeeding late preterm (sometimes known as 'near term') babies with well known breastfeeding expert Marsha Walker. Marsha is author of many books on breastfeeding, and most recently wrote Breastfeeding the Near Term Infant.  In the podcast we discuss why these babies are sometimes called "impostors," what happens during the last weeks of gestation which can impact breastfeeding, typical breastfeeding problems of late preterm infants, why breastfeeding is important to these infants, and solutions to common problems.
