Supporting Feeding Skills of Late Preterm Infants Part II With Angela Lober PhD, MPH, RN, IBCLC

Late preterm infants are at high risk for feeding challenges and early cessation of direct breastfeeding. This session will pick up where Part I in October 2025 left off on providing participants with an understanding of late preterm neurologic, muscular, and physiologic development after birth for comprehensive family education. Participants will learn feeding strategies to promote infant development while protecting milk production and infant growth.

Dr. Angela Lober is a community advocate and academic. She has been a RN since 2001 and an IBCLC since 2005, providing evidence based care to families in her community. She is involved in multiple professional and community organizations supporting families. Angela is also committed to education and mentorship.
