Breastfeeding Management 2


Although most of the information on this app is useful for the novice pediatrician or support staff, the calculator section is simple and straightforward. The weight-loss calculator is probably the most useful function, as weights in the office are often recorded in pounds, which makes it difficult to calculate the percent weight loss without a calculator. This app can calculate the percent weight change using either pounds or kilograms.
However, the feeding calculator is another useful component of this app that can be used to reassure new moms. The feeding calculator allows the pediatrician to enter the age of baby in days, number of feedings per day, and whether Mom had a cesarean section. It then calculates an average amount per feeding using data from the World Health Organization (WHO) for comparison. For example, an infant on the third day of life receiving 10 feedings a day after a vaginal delivery, the expected average amount per feeding is 0.8 oz. This is also helpful for moms who are pumping and concerned they are not supplying enough milk.
