VISUAL ABSTRACT 🖼️ This study successfully identifies potential lactation-specific miRNAs that may be shared between milk siblings, providing valuable insights and laying a foundation for future identification of milk kinship biomarkers. However, despite promising findings, current evidence remains insufficient to establish a definitive link between these miRNAs and milk kinship. Further research is required to confirm these findings.

New research highlights an important takeaway: education alone may not be enough to improve breastfeeding outcomes.

A study on postpartum care centers found that while some practices improved with training, exclusive breastfeeding rates didn’t significantly change, pointing to the need for broader support systems.

💬 What do you think has the biggest impact on breastfeeding success early on?

New research on Medication ✔️Please read and pass along 💕

New Publication Alert 📣

Our latest publication on cariprazine (Vraylar) during lactation provides the first empirical human milk data for this medication.

Estimated infant exposure to cariprazine and its active metabolites fell below standard safety thresholds. However, reported infant adverse effects and the potential for metabolite accumulation due to DDCAR’s long half-life highlight the need for caution and further research, particularly at higher maternal doses.

These findings underscore the importance of continued pharmacokinetic and clinical research to better inform breastfeeding guidance for families and providers.

The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) announces the slogan for :
Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works

will focus on tracking progress and evaluating breastfeeding impact on nutrition, food security and poverty reduction with highlights of successful implementation and lessons learnt. Target audiences including actors along the Warm Chain of Support for Breastfeeding; civil society organisations, governments, policymakers, health systems, workplaces, communities and parents will be engaged to strengthen proven solutions to improve breastfeeding protection, promotion and support. The theme is aligned with thematic area 1 of the WBW-SDG 2030 campaign.

Objectives of WBW2026:
🔹 Inform people about the importance of tracking progress in breastfeeding.
🔹 Anchor breastfeeding implementation through policies and guidelines across the Warm Chain.
🔹 Engage with individuals and organisations to enhance collaboration and support for breastfeeding.
🔹 Galvanise actions on improving breastfeeding protection, promotion and support using lessons learnt.

We invite everyone—governments, health systems, workplaces, civil society organisations, communities, and individuals—to join us in understanding what is working in countries that are reporting good breastfeeding progress. Tracking and evaluating progress in each country will let us learn what are the important elements to breastfeeding support.
