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.
