Of the thousands of lactation studies published during the last decade, some have the potential to
make us more effective as we help nursing families. This session provides an overview of the cutting-
edge knowledge and skills supported by recent evidence. It includes new science on the impact of
early formula use on allergy, the dynamics of mammary dysbiosis, the effects of parental obesity on
lactation, new approaches to preventing jaundice and excess weight loss after birth, novel treatments
for mastitis and hypoglycemia, LGBTQ nursing and language, new ways of understanding and
explaining early positioning and milk production, picture-based tongue-tie assessment tools, nursing
the early term baby, and more.
Learning Objectives:
Objective 1: Explain how viewing gender on a spectrum rather than as a binary concept affects
language and the lactation choices of some LGBTQ families.
Objective 2: Summarize the results of selected studies that have the potential to improve lactation
practice.
Objective 3: Describe how lactation professionals’ view of their role can affect families’ satisfaction
with their quality of care.
