GOLD Learning Day - Human Milk Composition: Navigating the Role of Parental Nutrition
Lactating parents hear a lot of conflicting information about what they should or shouldn't eat and how their diet might impact both their milk and baby. When offering support to lactating families, it's important to be able to separate the facts from the myths in order to provide evidence based care. This program will leave you feeling better prepared to answer questions from your clients about how their milk and baby might be impacted by their diet, what kind of diet might be appropriate if their baby is suffering colic or allergy symptoms and how diet trends such as a keto diet, intermittent fasting or detoxing might impact lactation.

In 2002, after her first daughter was born, she and her husband created CrianzaNatural.com, a Spanish portal and forum with information for an attachment parenting style of life. Since then, she's been involved in breastfeeding groups, such as La Leche League and Areola, which she still collaborates with. She offers breastfeeding and babywearing education in Spain, Portugal, Poland, and online. She's been working as doula in home and hospital births. Her website has been the source of dozens of support groups, many breastfeeding conselours and IBCLCs, and has helped hundreds of thousands of families around the world to get their maternity goals. For the last few years she's been very focused in nutrition after a cancer treatment left some issues on her health. She is now running a weekly podcast and video interview to relevant people addressing topics from conception to teens. In February she will launch a training course to become IBCLC, with the help of several new and experienced IBCLCs that she's been mentoring, in a site called ecrianza.com. She lives near the beach of Castelldefels with her two daughters who were homeschooled for 6 years, her lovely husband and her dog Timi.
Objective 1: Identify the major components in human milk.
Objective 2: Identify which components in human milk depend on maternal diet.
Objective 3: Discuss how specific nutritional deficiencies may affect the mother or baby's health.
As opposed to being considered the optimal way to feed a baby, breastfeeding should instead be considered the norm. Human milk is the most appropriate food for all babies, even if the mother is experiencing health issues or challenging life conditions. Human milk, despite maternal conditions, is the best source of food for children. Lifestyle, maternal diet, environmental exposures, and stress, among other factors, can impact health outcomes. This leads to the question of whether these factors can also affect human milk composition. Can babies become nutritionally deficient from the composition of their mother’s milk? What is deficiency? How are those thresholds calculated? This presentation will shed light on this subject, which is undergoing a tremendous amount of new research.

Objective 1: Describe the components of a Mediterranean diet.
Objective 2: Discuss what the current literature shows about the effect of the mother's food on the breastfeeding dyad.
Objective 3: Describe how diet affected colic and allergy symptoms in the referenced study.
Colic and allergy symptoms are problems commonly encountered in newborns exclusively receiving human milk, and are thought to be triggered by inflammatory responses in the gut. Maternal diet, especially cow’s milk intake, has been associated with infantile colic and allergies, but no previous studies have examined the effect of a Mediterranean diet. Thus, this new research aims to investigate whether maternal adherence to a dairy-free Mediterranean diet, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, reduces colic and allergy symptoms in infants exclusively fed human milk. This presentation will discuss the methodology of this recent study and present the results of the Mediterranean diet on allergy symptoms and average daily crying of infants.

Topic: Popular Diet Trends: Impact and Safety During Lactation - [View Abstract]
Objective 1: Describe the basic principles of three popular diet trends.
Objective 2: Assess the current evidence for these diet trends.
Objective 3: Identify potential contraindications on the use of these diet trends during lactation.
Diet culture is pervasive and it seems everyday brings about a new popular trend or style in how, when, or what to eat. The postpartum period often brings about an incredible amount of pressure to lose weight or “bounce back” to pre-pregnancy body shape. It’s no wonder many turn to popular diet trends with the promises of quick weight loss. However, with a lack of research in the lactating population, there remains concern regarding both the effect these diets may have on milk supply and their safety. This presentation will provide lactation professionals with the information they need to have informative discussions with their clients about popular diet trends.
