Breastfeeding and optimal infant nutrition provide the foundation for healthy growth, immune development, and lifelong well-being. Ongoing research continues to strengthen our understanding of human milk, lactation physiology, nutritional requirements, and strategies that support successful breastfeeding. This session focuses on advancing evidence-based infant feeding practices.
Scientific discussions will include breastfeeding promotion, lactation support, donor human milk, complementary feeding, neonatal nutrition, maternal nutrition, feeding challenges, nutrition for premature infants, and global infant feeding recommendations. Participants will also examine policies and healthcare initiatives that encourage optimal nutritional outcomes.
This session offers healthcare professionals, lactation consultants, pediatricians, neonatologists, nurses, dietitians, researchers, and maternal health specialists an opportunity to share research, exchange experiences, and promote best practices that support infant nutrition and maternal-child health.
