Feeding Forward: ABM Conversations Across Continents on Breastfeeding Medicine

August 1–7, 2025

To celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is proud to present Feeding Forward — a special storytelling series featuring conversations with ABM members from around the world.

Each episode explores what breastfeeding medicine looks like in different countries and cultures — from how care is delivered and regulated, to how families and professionals are supported, to the challenges and triumphs experienced on the ground.

What You'll Hear

Each conversation explores:

• How breastfeeding support is structured and regulated.
• Whether breastfeeding medicine is formally recognized as a specialty.
• What access looks like for families and healthcare professionals.
• Cultural innovations, challenges, and hopes for the future.

These are not lectures; they’re informal, thoughtful reflections designed to spark understanding, connection, and new perspectives.

How to View & Listen

Episodes will be released periodically during World Breastfeeding Week, August 1–7, 2025, on our website and YouTube channel.

Why "Feeding Forward"?

Because sharing stories fuels progress, by listening across borders, we deepen our understanding of breastfeeding worldwide — and strengthen our shared commitment to advancing care for families and professionals everywhere.
