Moms and moms-to-be need all the support they can get. One of those sources of support is housed in the TTUHSC School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics in Amarillo. The Infant Risk Center is a call center used by physicians, nurse, lactation consultants and mothers worldwide. Our guest for this episode is director of the Infant Risk Center of Excellence, Kaytlin Krutsch, Ph.D., Pharm.D.
Dr. Krutsch tells us all about the IRC and the information they provide. Dr. Krutsch goes on to explain how substances transfer to breast milk, the most common concerns and questions the IRC addresses, how we can support the IRC and moms, and in a world full of artificial intelligence, assures us that when someone calls the center, they’re speaking to an actual health care provider.
