Study Notes
Nutritional Requirements During Pregnancy and After Delivery
- Women should consume an additional 500 kcal/day while breastfeeding.
- Vitamin supplements should be taken if deficiencies are noted.
- Up to 75% of women retain more weight than pre-pregnancy weight at one year postpartum.
- Postpartum weight retention increases the risk for adverse outcomes in future pregnancies and long-term health conditions like hypertension and diabetes.
Newborn Nutritional Requirements
- Breastfeeding can start immediately after delivery.
- Colostrum, the first milk, is safe and absorbed by the respiratory system if aspirated.
- The first feeding should start within the first hour, but no later than 2-3 hours after birth.
- Routine feeding schedule: Feed every 2-4 hours.
- Self-demand feeding: Feed when the baby is hungry, usually every 3-4 hours.
- Fluid requirement: 140-160 mL/kg of body weight per day.
- Energy requirement: 90-120 kcal/kg/day for healthy newborns.
- Protein requirement: 15-20% of daily calories.
- Fat requirement: 30-40% of daily intake.
- Carbohydrates requirement: 40-50% of daily calories, primarily lactose from human milk.
- Minerals: Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron are crucial, especially during the third trimester.
- Supplements:
- Vitamin K: Given to all infants at birth.
- Vitamin D: Given to breastfed infants or those taking less than 500 mL/day of fortified formula.
- Iron: Necessary for breastfed infants.
- Fluoride: May be required based on water supply.
Child Nutritional Requirements
- Adequate nutrition is vital for physical, mental, and social development.
- Inadequate diet leads to poor muscle development, reduced work capacity, poor social development, high illness rates, and difficulty in school.
Nutrient Requirements by Age
- 0-6 months: 120 kcal, 2.3-1.8 g protein/kg, 6 mg iron, 400 mg calcium.
- 7-12 months: 100 kcal, 1.8-1.5 g protein/kg, 10 mg iron, 300 mg calcium.
- 1-5 years: 1000-1500 kcal, 17-22 g protein, 15-20 mg iron, 250-300 mg calcium.
Complementary Feeding
- Complementary feeding involves providing solid or semi-solid foods in addition to breast milk after six months of age.
- It is important to meet the increasing nutritional needs of the baby beyond what breast milk can provide.
- Complementary feeding should begin at six months.
- Use locally available food that is adequate and safe.
- Include foods from at least 4 food groups: Grains, legumes, dairy, flesh foods, eggs, vitamin A-rich fruits and vegetables, and other fruits and vegetables.
Mandatory Infants and Children Health Immunization Act of 2011 & Expanded Program of Immunization
- Republic Act No. 10152: Mandates basic immunization services for infants and children in the Philippines.
- Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI): Established in 1976 to ensure routine access to vaccines for infants, children, and mothers.
- Goal: Reduce illness and death from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Specific Goals of EPI
- Immunize all infants/children against common vaccine-preventable diseases.
- Maintain polio-free status.
- Eliminate measles, maternal and neonatal tetanus.
- Control diphtheria, pertussis, hepatitis B, and rubella.
- Prevent tuberculosis in children.
Diseases Covered Under EPI
- Tuberculosis
- Diphtheria
- Pertussis
- Tetanus
- Hepatitis B
- Measles
- Mumps
- Rubella
- Polio
- Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI)
- IMCI is a comprehensive strategy combining preventive and curative care to manage childhood illnesses.
- It focuses on improving care at both health facilities and community levels to enhance child survival and health.
- IMCI improves the quality of care for children under five using a systematic approach to assess, classify, and manage common childhood illnesses.
- It also promotes better communication and collaboration between health workers and families.
Early Essential Intrapartum and Newborn Care (EINC)
- EINC provides evidence-based practices to ensure quality care for mothers and newborns during labor, delivery, and the first week of life.
Time-bound interventions within EINC:
- Immediate drying: For 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm the newborn and stimulate breathing.
- Early skin-to-skin contact: Prevents hypothermia, infection, and hypoglycemia.
- Properly timed cord clamping: Done after 1-3 minutes, preventing anemia and protecting against brain hemorrhage.
- Non-separation of mother and baby: Promotes early breastfeeding and reduces infection risk.
Interventions within 90 Minutes to 6 Hours:
- Give Vitamin K, hepatitis B, and BCG vaccinations.
- Examine, weigh, and record newborn information.
Interventions After 90 Minutes:
- Support exclusive breastfeeding and keep mother and baby together (rooming-in).
Interventions Prior to Discharge:
- Ensure the baby is warm and explain the importance of warmth.
- Dress the baby appropriately, with a cap for small infants.
Newborn Screening (NBS)
- The goal of NBS is early detection of metabolic or genetic disorders to initiate prompt treatment and prevent complications.
- Key components of NBS: Education, Screening, Early Follow-up, Diagnosis, Management, and Evaluation.
- Criteria for screening: High incidence of the disorder, available treatment that is cost-effective, sensitive and specific tests.
- Specimen Collection: Blood is obtained from the heel of the newborn.
- Timing:
- For term newborns: Before discharge or by day 3.
- For preterm or low birth weight infants: By two weeks or before discharge.
Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEmONC)
- Provides lifesaving services for emergency maternal and newborn conditions at health facilities.
- BEmONC services are available at rural health units, barangay health stations, and birthing homes.
- BEmONC facilities must have a medical doctor, a registered nurse, and a midwife.
Core Functions of BEmONC:
- Administer Parenteral Antibiotics: For infections like puerperal sepsis.
- Administer Uterotonic Drugs: To manage postpartum hemorrhage.
- Administer Anticonvulsants: For severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia.
- Manually Remove Placenta: To prevent hemorrhage and sepsis.
- Remove Retained Products: Using vacuum aspiration or misoprostol.
- Perform Assisted Vaginal Delivery: Using forceps or vacuum extraction.
- Perform Basic Neonatal Resuscitation: To prevent complications from perinatal asphyxia.
Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (CEmONC)
- CEmONC is BEmONC services plus surgical delivery and blood transfusion services.
Additional Functions of CEmONC:
- Perform Caesarean Delivery: For cases where vaginal delivery poses risks.
- Provide Blood Transfusion: For postpartum hemorrhage management.
Environmental Sanitation
- Focuses on managing factors in the physical environment that affect health and well-being.
