We rely on evidence every day as lactation professionals.

But that evidence doesn’t exist without funding.

The Human Milk Institute is leading the way in human milk research—and today, you can directly support that work through Triton Giving Day at University of California San Diego.

This research is shaping:
→ NICU care
→ donor milk use
→ how we understand supply, hormones, and infant outcomes

If this field has impacted your life or your work, this is your chance to give back.

We talk a lot about breastfeeding.
We don’t talk enough about what happens when there’s no baby to feed.

In this episode, I sit down with Victoria Fonville to break down what the research actually shows about lactation after loss.

And honestly?
There are some major gaps.

We talk about:
– Why suppression is often the default
– What bereaved families actually want
– The role of milk in grief, identity, and healing
– And why milk donation can be deeply meaningful for some families

If you’re an IBCLC or working with postpartum families, this is something you need to understand.

Every day, I talk about the power of human milk.

But the truth is—there is still so much we don’t know.

The Human Milk Institute is the only institute in the world dedicated entirely to human milk research—studying everything from molecules to public health to improve outcomes for families everywhere.

Triton Giving Day at University of California San Diego is coming up April 29th!

This work matters for:
✨ Preterm infants fighting for survival
✨ Families navigating feeding challenges
✨ The future of lactation care

If you’ve ever believed in the impact of breastfeeding, this is one way to support the science behind it.

💛 Every donation helps move this work forward

Human milk is not just nutrition.

It’s communication. It’s protection. It’s a dynamic system we’re only beginning to understand.

In this episode of Behind the Latch, I sit down with Dr. Lars Bode to talk about:

✨ The real role of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs)
✨ Why research often misses real-world clinical problems
✨ What clinicians should actually be paying attention to right now
✨ And why we may need an entirely new field: lactology

If you’ve ever felt like the science of human milk is bigger than what we were taught… you’re right.
