Format: (may alter according to preferences of the group)

Case discussion raised by participants, discussions of any lactation-related topic that participants raise, respectful and kind debate and dissent amongst participants welcomed! All perspectives included.

What makes joining in worthwhile?

In this group, the following are welcomed:

• Research-based integration with other domains of infant care

• Transparency about difference between theoretical models and what is demonstrated to be effective (because lactation medicine remains a research frontier!)

• Non-ideological orientation. This is a space in which interdisciplinary engagement with the science and heart-centred clinical care are our guiding values.

• Celebration of dissent, debate, difference, and cherishing of intellectual courage - for the sake of women who breastfeed (however little or much), their infants, and their families.

What cost?

No cost. Open to all medical practitioners. No need to book ahead.

Schedule: medical practitioners
