We know the composition of colostrum (the first milk) differs when babies are born term or preterm. But did you know it also differs among term babies who are born small for gestational age (SGA), large for gestational age (LGA), and appropriate for gestational age? Learn more at the study below.

"People don't breastfeed. Cultures do. I've really

"People don't breastfeed. Cultures do. I've really worked to create a culture for breastfeeding and that includes equitable access, equitable information, taking care of vulnerable infants, making sure human donor milk is a viable second option for folks." @iamksealsallers

Barbara sat down with Kimberly Seals Allers —journalist, author, advocate, and changemaker in the world of lactation and maternal health. Kimberly's words, “I’m a femtech founder, writer, speaker and maternal and infant health strategist with a bold vision to transform the experience of motherhood for all and to eradicate racial disparities in birth and breastfeeding.”

Kimberly is someone who sees an issue and works on solutions! She gets things done! Barbara was lucky to be able to catch up with Kimberly on All Things Breastfeeding.

From her website: “Veteran journalist and five-time author turned maternal and infant health advocate and femtech founder. A former senior editor at ESSENCE and writer at FORTUNE magazine, I created Irth, as in birth but we dropped the B for bias, as the first-of-its kind, doctor and hospital review & rating platform just for Black and brown women and birthing people. I leveraged decades of media experience and a passion for mothering into a vision and platform to use technology to amplify community voices to address racism and bias in Black maternal and infant care. Irth is a non-profit project of my 501C3, Narrative Nation, which also produces the Birthright podcast, where I share positive Black birthing stories as a direct counter to the doom and gloom narrative too common in mainstream media coverage of Black maternal health.”

Kimberly’s new project has been connecting families with a maternal loss at birth with a human milk bank so the baby can receive human milk for the beginning of their life. So powerful.
