This is a photo of the three invited speakers on the panel discussion about breast inflammation in lactation, European Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine Conference May 2023, in Split, Croatia: Dr Anne Eglash (USA), myself (Australia) and Dr Monica Pina (Portugal).

This talk addresses:
- The milk microbiome
- Inflammatory stress and the mammary immune system
- What triggers inflammatory stress in mammary tissues?
- What is the wound healing response?
- The role of mechanical pressures
- Avoiding unnecessary antibiotic use
- Analysis of the concept of hyperlactation
- Critique of hypothesis that lactose excess triggers breast inflammation
- 5 key management principles (NDC guidelines)
- Avoiding unnecessary antibiotics
- Management overviews
- Popular treatments which lack rationale or evidence-base
I've put this video talk into the Resource Hub as a podcast as well, because there are no slides, just a video of me sitting in a cafe rehearsing my talk into my iphone propped up against a glass in Split, Croatia, admittedly with a stunning view out onto the Adriatic Sea! But you don't get to see the view sorry. This was before I actually gave the talk to the conference.
You might choose to follow the PowerPoint slides that accompany it while you listen to the talk (we were only alowed 10 so they are busy slides) which are here.
Note from Pam on checking through: if you happen to note how long this goes for and had a minute to email that to education@pameladouglas.com.au, I'd be grateful. In portrait, this doesn't automatically show up. Then I can put the time in here in for others. Thank you.
