Hi I've played around with the Newt nomogram https://www.newbornweight.org <https://www.newbornweight.org/> but have never used it as a teaching tool with parents yet. On the surface, it seems to be validated by some pretty sound research http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2014/11/25/peds.2014-1532.abstract?related-urls=yes&legid=pediatrics;peds.2014-1532v1 <http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2014/11/25/peds.2014-1532.abstract?related-urls=yes&legid=pediatrics;peds.2014-1532v1> at least for their population/practices. I haven’t read the full text article though. Questions that come to mind are: what are their IV fluid practices in this institution? what are their standard breastfeeding support practices? Has anyone used this tool and what are your thoughts? Many thanks, Meggie *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
