The European School of Neonatology (ESN) is the educational arm of the European Society for Paediatric Research in Neonatology.
About the ESN
The European School of Neonatology (ESN) equips medical professionals with the necessary knowledge, skills, competences, and attitudes required to practise high-quality neonatal medicine tailored to their local clinical setting. Taking into account principles of evidence-based medicine, ESN programming joins theory and practice so that medical professionals can effectively practise Neonatology at all levels of care. Amongst the ESN offers are a Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) in Neonatology, a Master of Science (MSc) in Neonatology, Special Courses and Training, and the free Lecture series ‘Perspectives on Effective Neonatology’.

Aim: to understand the working mechanisms and optimization strategies of the more advanced non-invasive ventilation modes (including NIPPV and Synchronized NIPPV, nasal HFV, and NIV NAVA); to learn the principles behind two attractive, non-invasive respiratory function monitoring techniques – the Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) and Respiratory Oscillometry (or FOT) – and their applicability in neonatology.

The problem: Why does it matter?
- Parents are learning not to trust their paediatricians.
- Maternal mental health’s connection to breastfeeding, and its impact on infant health
- Results of interviews with parents
- Quiz – Where is your knowledge lacking?
08:30-09:00
Typical weight gain challenges and how to advise – Rule #1: Feed the baby.
- Low weight gain
- Low milk supply
- Supplementation – keep babies fed and protect breastfeeding
09:00-10:00
The cause?!
- Typical issues with the baby’s oral function
- Tongue Ties
- Feeding Coordination
- high and low tone
- Oral aversion
- Typical issues with the mother
- Hormonal imbalance
- Blood loss and birth trauma
- Hypoplastic breasts
- Ideal blood values
10:00-10:30
Typical infant problems – connection to breastfeeding, and what to do?
- Frequent feeds / long feeds
- Candida / thrush
- Infant Reflux
- Dietary sensitivities
- Frequency and duration of feeds
11:30-12:30
Quick Fixes! Easy, quick advice for parents:
- Biological feeding position and skin to skin
- Switch feeding
- Careful supplementation (eg paced bottle feeding)
- Flange size when pumping
12:30-13:00
Communication: What parents really need from you:
- How to keep parents on your side while helping babies thrive
- Awareness of personal bias
- When to refer out and who to refer to
