um i will admit it's very disconcerting standing up in front of you here um and it took me a
00:00:06
while to figure out where i was invited to speak to you about it i realised i had this amazing opportunity
00:00:13
for all speech language there as to share how we approach our infant feeding and um
00:00:20
maybe you can also see how we incorporate some of the research thing to what we do every day
00:00:26
but probably most importantly also i wanna share what we as if eating team here in
00:00:32
some government um at the children's hospital so just some highlights of what we really focus on
00:00:39
preterm infant feeding
00:00:43
to get us started just to get a little bit of an overview
00:00:45
really or um in the world of pediatrics this page uh and eating disorders
00:00:51
we're talking about prayer prevalence numbers anywhere between twenty and probably eighty
00:00:56
percent wherever what we're talking about them for talking about congenital heart disease
00:01:01
um numbers are showing is that those are about about twenty percent of those children are
00:01:06
gonna have feeding disorders if we're looking at your muscular children that's gonna be much higher
00:01:12
up to eighty ninety percent and those are the kids that we really see in
00:01:17
our outpatient clinics um part of the high risk group or the preterm infants um
00:01:24
i'm getting really clearly your numbers on what preterm
00:01:27
infant kind of problems that they have in this nation
00:01:31
and feeding disorders are at times difficult um most studies sort of come up with
00:01:37
that word about ten percent for the entire population of returns
00:01:42
um the lower the gestation age we're gonna be around somewhere between twenty four and twenty eight percent
00:01:49
where did these kids go that's one of the main reasons but the i do my job um
00:01:55
but at your study which were all of you will know um did one study that looked at all they're not all the
00:02:02
to remember twenty five weeks at six years and they still haven't
00:02:06
two to five times higher rates of eating disorders at six years
00:02:10
um most outcome studies and then the feeling it's no different really they're looking at outcomes
00:02:17
two years and we're back about that when you ever usually around that twenty five percent more
00:02:24
and having some difficulties um the i always find it really difficult to find
00:02:30
'em outcome studies preterm cats um and johnson did do one where they hear it
00:02:37
um fulltime counterparts to their late three terms and they still had about five percent higher rate of
00:02:44
in our own clinic here in some gallon um in the feeding disorder
00:02:48
clinic we see about eighteen percent or preterm a lot of those early preterm
00:02:54
i looked at school work thousand and thirteen about over under thirty two
00:02:59
weeks and we had about eight percent that were really showed up have
00:03:04
still with feeding anticipation
00:03:08
but to move on from there
00:03:11
um when i started almost twenty years ago um really the focus for therapist was on looking at this
00:03:17
well the reflex saves well though what does that
00:03:20
mean then we sort of transition into um oral patter
00:03:26
time of differentiating on trips i continued of sucking what are the patterns
00:03:30
what are we expecting for term babies what are we expecting for the preacher
00:03:34
um assassins like the new email or or more assessment really came out of that came up in
00:03:40
the late nineties which we started to use we're still using it that really look good timing job function
00:03:46
um and the thought this was volume
00:03:49
um how quickly can we get how much volume into these children to get in the door
00:03:55
i'm really looking at one thirty
00:03:58
sort of resulted and um preterm infants it might
00:04:04
like correctly being terms where features on basically meaning they had been stuck on what
00:04:10
happened was that we had a lot of model t.'s with really flow high flow rate
00:04:15
we're starting to hear a lot of issues with letting
00:04:18
'em aspirations kind iterations work issues that we were looking at
00:04:23
probably their best standpoint we were doing a lot of or facial my facial there
00:04:27
be we were compensating for that means that we were compensating for that me things that
00:04:33
to get more into world pressure going for these gets in and um when i certainly when i started um it
00:04:41
was the discussion how many i'm acting is a pretty hard with these preacher big had during their feeds that was
00:04:55
okay we've come a long way and i think there was hopefully upon along with that a little bit intervening practised
00:05:01
with various different models of here that we're using now um however
00:05:05
we're gonna call them they're sort of looking at developmental family integrated here
00:05:11
i'm in a therapist world really within the developmental scope of crackers were
00:05:16
program here and i think within the last couple of years really focusing
00:05:21
on okay how can we integrate trauma informed knowledge that we have now into
00:05:28
into into our work as well um i just picked one study form ultimate philips or better said just
00:05:35
there um picture of they published um an article which they call seven or measures
00:05:41
of departmental thing we integrated here and one of those things up i think your trash
00:05:47
so these are things that really we're trying to do
00:05:51
on a daily basis as well we um
00:05:55
parents out feeding starts of skin to skin
00:05:58
that early issue that we really want to look at after that breastfeeding
00:06:04
we had time as well as we can to really establish some breast feeding before
00:06:10
started maybe on the bottom of working spend rest
00:06:13
human overeating you will talk about much more than you know more about than i do
00:06:18
um and then sort of are are really is that whole issue if you base defeating
00:06:25
you may speeding is philosophically us a volume driven feeding
00:06:31
quality of feeds her little bit less concerned at least the beginning
00:06:35
on what how what kind of boggles the baby is taking orally
00:06:39
um he lays is also
00:06:42
right to defeating you'll find that in the literature really we're looking at those developmental milestones
00:06:47
stability in stress and how's that trial communicating these this with us and how can we um
00:06:54
address those issues doing features well so doing defeating really lovely getting agent disengagement use
00:07:01
and if the um across feet across meetings and what is the child individually letting us know
00:07:07
from a learning standpoint certainly world experiences we
00:07:11
all understand motivation if we're having a negative experience
00:07:16
if he were when we're going to do anything where lot less likely to continue wanna do that if we have a lot
00:07:22
of positive world experiences are more motivated to keep going and that's
00:07:27
that's as well so that's something we wanna consider with our baby
00:07:32
how many into patients excavations how many sections have that had all
00:07:36
those things are gonna influence having approach that choral area in for them
00:07:42
for us we've sort of switched
00:07:46
patterns you said there there's the nurses counting stock swallows
00:07:50
but we've sort of progress integrating that really into the press
00:07:54
and that's really sort of my favour are um the part that really trying
00:07:58
to work on a possible for us to get on on board with that
00:08:04
so quick overview or most of you will notice anyway but development of those three tasks of socks
00:08:11
well and breath i'm needing to be poured mated
00:08:14
for that really feeling that's still fascinates me that
00:08:20
preterm infants are learning that one of the
00:08:22
simple complex dangerous scale burning if you'd like wait
00:08:27
i'm an image were neurological system were all their sources subsystems don't really work at it
00:08:34
um we know um whatever number we really want but all over preterm infant
00:08:40
are sucking and swallowing they'd have hacked this and that there is
00:08:43
some recognition of motor patterns of what they're doing with that ah um
00:08:49
study while her many people start feeling we're looking at thirty two to thirty four weeks cement somewhere in there
00:08:55
i think it's really important to understand babies can't feed at that age
00:09:00
what we're expecting them to do is have with models wells
00:09:04
about every two weeks so they're not gonna aspirated every single time
00:09:09
at thirty four weeks what we expect them to have the support nation of socks well we'll see
00:09:17
the rest integration of brett happened after that their studies that say um
00:09:22
but i think we'll really get around thirty five weeks i think we're somewhere in
00:09:26
that thirty six week period with the really starting to learn how to do that
00:09:31
but actual feeding probably actually later
00:09:36
so this is my favourite slide i like this slide i teach this to parents i teach this to um nurses
00:09:44
gonna try to um but there's a just a shell
00:09:48
pattern of development for integrating breath into this sucks well
00:09:52
and immaturity at the store over right and then it starts
00:09:57
mind relating the respiratory pattern in other words suck swallow replaces bruce
00:10:02
and that not a great place to be for preterm infant
00:10:07
so because of that that's why we're
00:10:09
seeing decreased inspiration time um respiratory frequency
00:10:13
that's decreased mine ventilation is last title one they just can't get that reference every
00:10:21
ah what we're saying is the simplest how are you there
00:10:25
simplest pattern is like we do when we learn any motor task we separate tasks sex acts stock
00:10:32
at the very beginning they're probably gonna take a break then follow take
00:10:36
another break figure out your logically what we need to do and we start
00:10:40
that's sort of that first pattern around thirty two weeks that we're saying after that
00:10:44
we get that thirty four weeks when we're like oh i'm thirty four thirty five
00:10:49
suck swallow suck swallow sex lulls that's well that's
00:10:53
where you see nurses yelling and telling them really
00:10:57
because they forget to brave they tend to do stuff
00:11:01
oh runs and forget that they need to be breathing
00:11:06
and then as time progresses we have stuck swallow wrestles well the rest as well though right
00:11:12
preterm infants we'll still hang on an area of compensating their
00:11:16
breath they're gonna do some catch everything at the end um
00:11:21
and this is still i think most children that we see on are going
00:11:25
to some variation of the s. throughout their stay in the nick you order sorry
00:11:31
'cause as soon as they're some sort of stress comes into it
00:11:34
hadn't r. o. p. exam are um there were three you are um
00:11:40
three in terms of getting some lot uh they're gonna think i i might
00:11:44
be able to do this yesterday but today i'm stressed and i'm gonna do this
00:11:49
and i think that's one of those things that really that nursing care means that there is
00:11:56
that gets differently than depending on where they are
00:12:02
so the media it's my first one is that yes
00:12:25
but of registration
00:12:40
so what we know is that breastfeeding baby stand have more
00:12:43
organised patterns when they're feeling probably just 'cause there'll be more relaxed
00:12:48
um oldfield meet so no meets the needs to know everything of that
00:12:53
um i also understand that there's improve ventilation there and that that whole pattern
00:12:58
better um the idea behind it probably is that there's not a consistent flow of mail even
00:13:05
um if you're using a shield and that with a variation in in build flow
00:13:10
hits can sort of it that better than on the bottle so our next one
00:13:16
quite as well but we go
00:13:21
hell getting on the plane
00:13:45
tell his integration of breath is a lot harder
00:14:02
if you're looking carefully stress size
00:14:23
and now everything
00:14:39
so really separating those tasks that he should might be integrating art
00:14:55
so what we look yeah um and these are really the things that we're working on with
00:14:59
nurses were looking at it with parents as well when they're feeding their children we consider catcher reading to be
00:15:07
part of the course that's okay we're happy for them to do catch up reading any
00:15:11
kind of nasal flaring um use of accessory respiratory muscles to deepen that right we don't
00:15:17
or any changes of task hadn't like we were looking at before we really want nurses
00:15:22
and parents to be aware of that and then see how we can adapt to that
00:15:27
um one thing i'm working on right now and lactation as well
00:15:30
as working with versus and hands to start listening more what they
00:15:36
so are we hearing gulping gurgling any kind of fluid in any part of the airway
00:15:42
um to be aware of that to note that and to be able to figure out what we need to do from there
00:15:48
to that i just wanna share with you um the literature each other it's called bell rang
00:15:53
which is a great premature inspiration it sounds a little
00:15:57
bit like striker but it's not it's premature opening of
00:16:02
the air right before the swallow is finished and the second one is what what's called run thing
00:16:08
um and that's really up for long expiration period so listen to those
00:16:15
that you know the bottle
00:16:25
yeah i i i highly
00:16:49
so the yelping we usually look at a lower rate the granting we stop beating falls stop
00:16:56
those hit that amount of work reading for that amount of fluid that they're taking isn't worth it
00:17:01
and we need to really address should they be feeding what else is going on so if we're hearing renting it
00:17:08
with our in our clinic it's an absolute stopped you
00:17:12
then acne braveheart yeah that's um again really i'm really
00:17:16
we shouldn't be seeing it um yes feeling isn't aerobics for
00:17:22
so we expect it gets to go below about five percent below baseline when they're feeling
00:17:28
but anything about that studies from lower and defeating flop room
00:17:32
have really shown that anything that goes below five percent of their baseline their meeting so much energy
00:17:38
to catch up afterwards that a lot of the feed that they've taken in in the nutrition but ah
00:17:44
they're losing that so they can't really be gaining weight so that's something to also certainly consider
00:17:49
another thing that really irritates me is when nurses tell me is
00:17:53
doing really well great discreet you just need a little bit of oxygen
00:17:58
that to me doesn't make sense unless or d. p. d. n. y. u. need oxygen defeat
00:18:05
if everything else is going great and something else is going on and we need to look at that again
00:18:14
what always makes me there is it is what time should be children be expected to be full or like that
00:18:22
um i think one study from joining from two thousand and fifteen is it
00:18:27
correlates pretty well with what we do when their description of how they've even having progress
00:18:32
and they looked at eighty four it's under thirty two weeks gestation
00:18:37
and they had about a thirty six point seven week for being on full oral feats meaning the first
00:18:43
time they took their full volume in twenty four hours um and i was thinking was the markets don't go
00:18:51
but but i think what's important is the range um i'd love to see thirty three week um but fifty
00:18:59
three weeks yeah we see some that really don't do until forty forty two forty three that they really or meeting
00:19:06
um the other studies most studies that sort of
00:19:09
look at 'em post menstrual age for full world feeds
00:19:13
what i find is that there is really important also to share with parents is that
00:19:18
for every call morbidity that the child has we're gonna add me on to that
00:19:23
and that's the major ones are small or just station h. b. p. d. neck any kind
00:19:28
of surgery um the studies that found him to be really interesting every new room sensory issue
00:19:35
so that they're really interesting um one of the things i've
00:19:38
learned is always meet studies very carefully and what it was excluded
00:19:43
and they all these studies always exclude um any kind of congenital genetic disorder
00:19:49
and children that the discharge when gosh these are true feelings so really top was
00:19:55
already number so that helps means that there was a sort of equate we're really going
00:20:04
so to finish up um where are we and we're we're gonna go off um as far as i'm concerned i think
00:20:10
respiration is gonna be a continue the key to looking at
00:20:14
other defeating oh i'm i'm look i'm waiting for the research
00:20:19
suggestions uh to look at what digestion actually does much more to the progression
00:20:25
of eating and not just i'm feeding intolerance but really what happens afterwards as well
00:20:31
we're gonna keep going is feeding isn't about little task i'm sure much more practised
00:20:35
the breast how we can we really make sure p. terms or going there well
00:20:40
discharging with and enjoy each oops i'm hearing some cologne we do some of that
00:20:46
the question of controlling them and checking up on them see how they're doing that sort of a system
00:20:52
from a technical standpoint i think slow low rate nipples small
00:20:57
bowl the size i think that sort of standard at this point
00:21:01
he's saying is a technique for regulation cool regulation there's starting to get
00:21:05
um a little bit more acceptance i think something we certainly do um
00:21:11
past couple years there's been a lot published on
00:21:13
elevated sideline positioning i think the um evidence is gonna
00:21:19
become better for that um we have some about just basic long volume get the reading
00:21:25
that we have in that position that's better there's um some anecdotal things that i've heard
00:21:31
how it's we're i'm looking into it that are also thinking that probably subplot pressure for
00:21:37
actual swallow was better inside line so those are things that we can look out for
00:21:42
um the big discussion certainly in the therapy world when we're looking at preterm infant feeding
00:21:48
our continues to be or facial stimulation there seems to be two groups
00:21:53
and it happens to be the group that does a lot of breastfeeding don't do a lot of or facial stimulation
00:21:59
countries that haven't really low breastfeeding rates paid a lot of
00:22:03
or facial stimulation but again most of the studies end up being
00:22:07
the child to rank work are my argument often is is
00:22:11
the greek word they swallow or but did we differentiate that
00:22:16
the topic he will never go to a conference with their best looking at getting that
00:22:21
it doesn't that discuss do we or do we not feel don't see happen i flow
00:22:26
um i think the probably the definitive answer is
00:22:31
not there yet um some of you might go on the
00:22:35
study was published and buy for our where they start um
00:22:40
they actually made her stop the study because children were just ask
00:22:42
reading so much in comparison to that and i don't think happy so
00:22:47
who knows answer the news topic that's come up with really looking at temperature feats
00:22:53
i'm not taking um what we know from pediatrics in it
00:22:56
don't it's frasier and looking at if we're having preterm infants
00:23:01
that need some extra help really should we be feeding them fees orally
00:23:05
at body temperature or just a little bit low how their sensory
00:23:10
um process so that i think they're probably gonna show up soon
00:23:15
and with that um i hope i just was able to give you a little bit of in in of insight
00:23:21
of what we try to do um to over twenty five years
00:23:26
we ended up pretty well and and help with the parents and with them we had
00:23:31
some other feeding experiences and when it so
00:23:35
we had some positive outcomes yet very much ha
00:23:49
in some not need one for that very interesting speech in the insides and i think especially that
00:23:55
most of us we i'm walking owning on me q. s. packets and of
00:24:01
course nutrition but the aspect of eating which could show very nicely so what
00:24:07
so where to a lot of us no thanks a
00:24:10
lot for it inside since each questions from atari um
00:24:20
not me i'm working but shortly command on the question
00:24:26
how parents especially the mum ah i'm only eighteen to well
00:24:34
well uh difficulties in feeding because in most
00:24:37
mums more looking on quantity so justin no so
00:24:43
according to experience how difficult is it to on yet but um um how to have a child
00:24:52
often very because i think we have the system focus on volume
00:24:57
so i think if we um focus from the beginning of nursing
00:25:00
care if in round we also asked how good she noticed how much
00:25:07
that makes a real difference um i think parents especially moms come
00:25:11
absolute experts they can take it when they're reading when they're not
00:25:15
is it a good day is it that day but i ended the
00:25:17
day still it's volume because bottom means way and we need them going on
00:25:22
um and i think often what we're trying to do is just
00:25:26
set the basis of prevention of eating disorders um we have in this
00:25:34
and just try to show them that there's other aspects that well especially when we get like toes and they all liked those
00:25:41
of their feeding 'em ability that we can take yep but look we've talked about the breath or in
00:25:47
integrating breath better that all these better means nothing on a bad day for mom but we just keep going on
00:26:33
um or gastric tube i don't like it it's gonna change sensory issues um
00:26:40
i know there's a couple of clinics that i know from colleagues that do exactly what you what you
00:26:44
do and they have really good experience with that i have no experience with that um i think there's
00:26:50
i wish all tubes could be little tiny return to its so at least there's a little bit less um
00:26:57
but there's certain feats that just won't go through that and i get get that there's practical aspect of that um
00:27:03
but i agree with you i think we see that i'm older children that they feed their
00:27:07
swallow it's safer and better without the two band and i think that we need to consider that
