From Data to Impact: Leveraging the Newborn Weight Tool to Improve Breastfeeding Outcomes

Timely, evidence-based support and care are critical to helping families achieve their breastfeeding goals. Building on the 2026 World Breastfeeding Week theme, "Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works," register today to learn how the Newborn Weight Tool (Newt) strengthens clinical practice by using weight trajectory data to distinguish normal physiologic weight loss from patterns associated with breastfeeding challenges. Participants will learn how to use the Newt nomogram to guide clinical decision-making, implement timely lactation interventions, and integrate data-driven assessments into interprofessional care plans and patient counseling. By empowering healthcare providers with practical, evidence-based tools, this session supports resilient breastfeeding relationships, collaborative care, and improved outcomes for infants and families.
