So much to learn at this event. Thanks for bringing everyone together Human Milk Institute at UC San Diego!

Goodbye Spain, and thanks European Milk Banks for a wonderful conference!

Congratulations to Dr. Bruna Gutierrez dos Santos for her first author paper on breastfeeding and pumping practices of milk bank donors in the UK and US. Important differences noted that may be related to maternity leave. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37889994/#

Dr. Jigna Dharod studies food and water insecurity and infant feeding, and she is a wonderful collaborator!

Lots of great conversations planned for HMBANA conference. I'll be talking about "Is It Time for Nutritional Standards for Donor Milk? Evidence on Outcomes and Production Considerations". Learn more and I hope to see you in Austin, TX! hmbana.org/news/events.ht…

Congrats Tarah Colaizy & team for important RCT looking @ outcomes in extremely preterm infants receiving either predominantly DHM vs predominantly formula. And thanks Mandy Brown Belfort, MD MPH for the opportunity to help contextualize these findings. Lots of nutrition-related work to do!

Fascinating new study by Prof. Meghan Azad, PhD and Lars Bode uses machine learning to look for patterns between infant head circumference, #humanmilk composition, and maternal factors. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Health Canada has proposed legislation to regulate #humanmilk (read at t.ly/FIu2-). Canadian researchers have summarized important concerns at t.ly/KN15R. Consider signing or providing your own feedback by February 26.

Novel study from Lars Bode and colleagues compared HMOs within a subject between two different pregnancies. Established milk biobanks will allow for continued work like this to understand within mother variations of #HumanMilk. mdpi.com/2072-6643/16/5…

Fun to be on the other side of research as a participant in NIH AllofUsResearch study including the Nutrition for Precision Health investigation. Imaging this will be the Framingham of the 21st century! Recruitment is happening all over US if you are interested.

A little SpaceX entertainment last night at #HMI24! Rockets are amazing. So is #humanmilk! Thanks Lars Bode for organizing a fantastic symposium!

“Nothing is as mesmerizing” as learning how things are partitioned into the mammary gland. -Dr. Tom Hale being recognized at #HMBANA24 for his amazing contributions to our understanding of pharmacokinetics and human milk.

Hoping to see many of you in Toronto at the #PAS2024 Hot Topic on human milk nutrient analysis with Mandy Brown Belfort, MD MPH Deborah L. O’Connor and Dr. Sharon Unger.

Sometimes, the simplest technology can be the most elegant and powerful. Learn about passive osmotic concentration of human milk at rdcu.be/dIf3x and the role it might play in the NICU.

Confused by conflicting reports of no vs high loss of fat in #DonorHumanMilk after Holder pasteurization? Check out scoping review and accompanying editorial by Deborah L. O’Connor suggesting mixing may be confounding findings. advances.nutrition.org/article/S2161-… & shorturl.at/wE4Uc

Congratulations Heather Rusi and Merilee Brockway PhD RN IBCLC for this important concept analysis on the commercialization of #humanmilk. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/08…

What do the nutritional values on a botte of #humanmilk mean? Learn more about how to decipher this information at rdcu.be/dKVs0 with Mandy Brown Belfort, MD MPH UC Health Milk Bank Deborah L. O’Connor Krysten North, Sharon Unger, and Lisa Stellwagen.

Hooray, Hande!

Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation Journal of Human Lactation. Thanks for the invitation! Merilee Brockway PhD RN IBCLC
