Newborn Skin Health Research: Unique differences of infant skin, its microbiome, and how to support normal skin maturation
9 June 2021 - New York 07:30 / London 12:30 / Singapore 19:30
The skin barrier provides important “first line of defense” protection against water loss, irritants, allergens and pathogens, with the skin’s microbiome also acting to modulate the innate immune response of the skin. However, infant skin and its microbiome are different versus adult skin and continue to mature long after birth. Attendees will learn about these important differences, including how mode of birth delivery influences the skin microbiome, and will leave this session understanding critical factors and care routines that can help support normal skin maturation.

Newborn Skin Health: Implications for care across conditions
9 June 2021 - New York 13:00 / London 18:00 / Singapore 01:00 (10 June)
A propensity for skin barrier disruption can be associated with sensitive and compromised skin and is also an important factor in atopic dermatitis (AD). AD affects at least one in ten children of all ethnicities, with 45% of AD developing in the first 6 months of life. Research has indicated that dysbiosis of the skin microbiome may play an important role in AD. Additionally, attendees will learn about implications for daily skin management as a critical strategy for care.

What is appropriate to use on newborn skin? Ingredient science, facts & guidance for midwives
23 June 2021 - New York 07:30 / London 12:30 / Singapore 19:30
Infant skin is still developing and vulnerable, therefore when caregivers advise on skin care products it is important to choose those that have been clinically evaluated to be safe, effective, and designed for infant skin. Information on the internet and other sources may not always be based on evidence. Attendees will learn about ingredient science, myths and facts, how to read and understand labels, and how they can help parents navigate product selection for baby’s care.

Importance of parent-child touch, connection & bonding in a post-pandemic world: how midwives can guide parents to use everyday routines to support healthy baby development
23 June 2021 - New York 13:00 / London 18:00 / Singapore 01:00 (24 June)
Most neurons in the brain are formed in utero, whereas synaptic connections occur through experiences and interactions after birth. By age three, 85% of baby’s brain is developed, highlighting the importance of early nurturing relationships. Mother-baby bonding is essential and everyday care routines provide opportunities for connection, which may be more important than ever in a post-pandemic world. Attendees will reinforce their knowledge on bonding through touch and other sensorial stimulation and learn strategies to help parents optimize care in our “new normal.”
