Project Background information
Preterm infants, i.e. those born earlier than expected are at increased risk of ill
health and frequently have poor nutrition, growth and development. Parenting
a preterm infant can be very stressful. Preterm infants often spend long
periods in the hospital and even after the medical crises have passed, and the
infant is discharged home, parents may continue to experience distress as
they attempt to care for their fragile infant whose development and behaviour
may be different to term-born infants. Good nutrition is a key concern for
parents. Our work with the parent-partnership focus groups revealed that
families of preterm infants would benefit from support in this area. Weaning is
the process by which babies start taking foods other than breast or infant
formula milk. This time can be very stressful for parents of preterm infants. It
is difficult for parents to decide when the baby is ready to be weaned and
there is a lack of information about what would be the correct method and
food to use while weaning. We would like to design a website to provide
information about nutrition and weaning in preterm infants. This site will
include information on how to identify when the child is ready to be weaned,
culturally acceptable food items that can be used, how to feed infants, and
other information about nutrition after weaning. The website should be also
available via an app which may be downloadable on a range of smartphones.
Currently there are some leaflets that provide information about how to wean
preterm infants. The most frequently used is available at
https://www.cshsurrey.co.uk/sites/default/files/uploads/documents/services/Weaning%20pret erm.pdf
We would like to create a website with this information and investigate if
giving parents information through a website and an app may be more useful
than giving out leaflets. For the website: we would like to have a platform that
has text and pictures, videos as well as the option for parents to share their
experiences. The materials will be provided by the Neonatal Team at the
Queen’s Medical Centre.
