The China edition of Medela’s Global Breastfeeding and Lactation Symposium series and 2nd China Summit will be held in May, 2023. Over the course of two days, the world’s most influential human milk and lactation experts will share new insights, latest scientific evidence and discoveries. Our aim is to provide a platform for like-minded breastfeeding professionals to exchange ideas, experiences, and best practices. Whether as educators, obstetricians, neonatologists, healthcare providers, breastfeeding consultants, or human milk and policy experts, let’s unite to protect, support and promote breastfeeding in China.

This unique academic conference builds on a hybrid model: On day 1, a workshop around the China Breastfeeding Promote Project will be held in person. Select representatives from 5-10 demonstration hospitals will participate and explore promoting breastfeeding in different scenarios. On day 2, the summit will be held in a hybrid format, with all presentations streamed live, allowing healthcare professionals all over China to register free of charge and conveniently learn online about the latest research from regionally and globally renowned speakers and actively participate during the live discussions.

These globally recognized lactation and healthcare thought leaders will be accompanied by internationally renowned local expert speakers
