CUSOM Fourth Year Rotation Resources: Breastfeeding Links

The Physician Guide to Breastfeeding, created by Dr. Katrina Mitchell, provides scientific lactation information for healthcare providers, breastfeeding moms, and communities.

This organization was started by Jane Morton who is one of the pioneers in Breastfeeding and Human Lactation research and study. She is an Adjunct Clinical Professor of Pediatrics, Emerita at Stanford Medical Center.

The Office on Women's Health achieves its mission through a wide range of programs and activities. The Office also leads several groups and committees to coordinate efforts for women's health within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as well as with other federal agencies

The primary focus in LLL has remained on the personal sharing of information and encouragement that provides a new parent with the confidence they need to breastfeed their baby: mother-to-mother, parent-to-parent, heart-to-heart. Leaders across the world offer breastfeeding support and information in their own communities, and many also respond immediately, providing infant feeding support in emergency situations. LLL works to ensure that those who, historically, have been marginalized when trying to access support for nursing and human milk feeding, are included – with the same fervor the Founders showed nearly 70 years ago.
