Medela breastfeeding symposium provides insight into research

Medela UK's second National Breastfeeding Symposium took place in Manchester in October and the team was out in force to make this a special educational opportunity. Delegates heard from four world-class speakers – Paula Meier (USA), Kathy Dewhurst (UK), Annie Aloysius (UK) and Donna Geddes (Australia) – who provided insightful and thought- provoking presentations of their current research, ranging from the value of human milk in the NICU to the dynamicity of human milk composition and what this means to the infant.

The event was an ideal platform for those with a common interest in breastfeeding and lactation to meet and share thoughts and experiences to stimulate new ideas and future research activities.

There will be a full write-up of the event in the January 2018 issue of Infant journal.
