Human Milk & the Microbiome
An evidence-based exploration of the role of human milk in shaping the infant microbiome, with clinical implications for lactation support and long-term infant health outcomes.
The Partner Effect
The research is clear: partner support is among the strongest predictors of breastfeeding duration. This presentation gives clinicians practical tools to engage partners as active stakeholders in the breastfeeding relationship.
Breastfeeding & Epigenetics
Emerging research reveals that the bioactive components of human milk actively modulate gene expression in ways that may influence health trajectories across the lifespan.
The Lactating Brain
Oxytocin, prolactin, neuroplasticity, and the psychobiology of milk production and maternal behavior — including D-MER, breastfeeding aversion, and the neurological implications of weaning.
Building the Lactation-Inclusive Pediatric Practice
A practical framework for transforming the pediatric practice into a lactation-supportive care environment — without requiring every provider to become a lactation expert.
Breastfeeding & the Pediatric Well Visit
The pediatric well visit is one of the most underutilized opportunities in breastfeeding support. A high-impact presentation on what pediatricians should be asking — and why most aren't.
The Hospital-to-Home Lactation Handoff
Addressing one of the most critical and most broken transitions in perinatal care — and what hospitals, IBCLCs, and pediatric teams can do to close the gap.
Photobiomodulation Therapy for Lactational Mastitis
A review of emerging evidence for PBMT as a non-pharmacologic intervention for lactational mastitis, including clinical application and patient selection considerations.
Tongue Tie: Identification, Impact & Interdisciplinary Management
A clinical and public health perspective on identification, functional assessment, referral pathways, and shared decision-making.
