WEBINAR ON-DEMAND - Secrets of Secretory Activation: Unlocking the Critical Window for Milk Supply
Unlocking Lactation Success: New Insights for NICU and Maternity Care Teams
Early, unplanned cessation of lactation remains one of the most common challenges for mothers of both term and preterm infants—and low milk volume is often the driving factor. For clinicians supporting these families, understanding the underlying risks and interventions is critical.
A recent special issue of Breastfeeding Medicine (July 2025) brings forward groundbreaking data on the biologic factors that influence lactation success, particularly for mothers experiencing complications during pregnancy and birth. These findings have the potential to reshape how we approach lactation care in both NICU and maternity settings.
Watch this on-demand webinar featuring three leading experts in lactation science and neonatal care:
- Dr. Paula Meier
- Dr. Leslie Parker
- Dr. Rebecca Hoban
In this compelling session, you’ll learn:
- The biologic, behavioral, and economic risks contributing to early lactation cessation
- Why frequent, effective, and efficient mammary gland stimulation is essential for secretory activation and long-term milk volume
- How point-of-care techniques—such as milk biomarkers and milk 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 webinar offers actionable insights to improve outcomes for both healthy and at-risk populations.
