Free Webinar: Early, Unplanned Cessation of Lactation in Healthy and At-Risk Populations – Priorities for Research and Practice

Time to read: 1 min.

Early, unplanned cessation of lactation is a common challenge for mothers of both term and preterm infants, often driven by low milk volume. This webinar will present new data from the July 2025 special issue of Breastfeeding Medicine, highlighting the biologic risks that impact lactation success—especially in mothers with complications of pregnancy and birth.

Join us for a compelling session led by three leading experts in lactation science and neonatal care: Dr. Paula Meier, Dr. Leslie Parker, and Dr. Rebecca Hoban. During the webinar, you will learn:

  • The biologic, behavioral, and economic risks contributing to early lactation cessation
  • Why frequent, effective, and efficient mammary gland stimulation is critical for secretory activation and long-term milk volume
  • How point-of-care techniques—such as milk biomarkers and transfer measurement—can help identify and manage low milk volume and intake
  • Strategies to equip front-line lactation care providers with data-driven tools and messaging for families

Whether you're a lactation consultant, NICU nurse, neonatologist, or maternal health provider, this session will offer actionable insights to improve outcomes for both healthy and at-risk populations.

Date: November 3rd, 2025 – 1:00–2:00 PM (CST)
