Nutrition professionals have a unique opportunity to demonstrate how medical nutrition therapy (MNT) can address and resolve nutrition-related challenges during lactation. This session will offer comprehensive, up-to-date knowledge on current trends in breastfeeding within public health settings across the United States, highlighting emerging nutrition care patterns and outcomes in dyads (lactating parent and infant).
Attendees will gain insights into the latest research and practical applications of MNT in lactation care. Additionally, the session will cover innovative strategies for systematically measuring and analyzing the impact of MNT on breastfeeding outcomes. Participants will leave with enhanced competency in implementing best practices, utilizing data-driven approaches to improve lactation support, and ultimately contributing to better public health outcomes.
