MILC co-director serves on expert panel on nutrient content of human milk

As part of the Committee on "Scanning for New Evidence on the Nutrient Content of Human Milk: A Model for the Derivation of Age-Specific Nutrient Requirements", MILC co-Director Dr. Meghan Azad contributed expertise at a meeting held at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine in Washington, DC on November 7, 2019.  The committee will develop pre-specified criteria to characterize nutrient levels in human milk and to identify characteristics of the nutritional quality of human milk in relation to infant requirements to support normal growth and development.
