Plan:
• Advised mom to use a breast pump to assess how much milk she is able to produce. At this point child lost 15% of birth weight since discharge from the hospital. Mom may need to add a formula feeding to meet child’s nutritional needs. “The infant may lose up to 5% to 8% of birth weight but should regain it within 10 to 14 days. Weight gain after initial loss averages 0.5to 1 oz per day” (Burns et. al., 2015, p. 60). The child was discharged from the hospital weighing 3.27 kg and presents today to the office weighing 2.75kg. He needs to drink between 2-3oz of breastmilk or formula at each feeding between 3-4h.
• Discussed that no immunization will be given at this office visit. He is due for Hep B vaccine. I will provide educational materials in regards to Hep B vaccine.
• Return to office in 3 days for weight check and if weight increasing will offer Hep B vaccine.
• Keep the child in upright position after feeding to minimize regurgitation.
• Call the office if any questions arise.
• Discussed newborn care.
• Discussed appropriate car seat
