QUICK SUMMARY: Each week I write articles based on new research relating to pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and the microbiome. Here is my personal top 10 countdown of recent articles about the science of breastfeeding and breast milk — these papers all make me go “Wow”!
Each week I write a blog-article about new research relating to pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and the microbiome. (Follow me by clicking FOLLOW on my profile!)
This week’s blog-article is quite meta: It’s a top 10 countdown of my favourite 2022 articles on the science of breastfeeding.
Each one in my personal top 10 countdown explains a 2022 research paper on some aspect of lactation or human milk, and why support for exclusive breastfeeding is so important for the optimal growth and development of all babies.
All these papers are really fascinating. The order of this countdown represents how much I personally went “Wow” when I read the paper. You might put your own “wows” in a different order.
The research papers cover everything from the complex components of breast milk, to the importance of educating parents, to how breast milk shapes the infant gut microbiome and a child’s immunity.
