 Image credit: Human-Milk.com MILC Director Dr. Meghan Azad sat down with Claire Tchaikoski of Human-Milk to discuss groundbreaking research that is reshaping how we understand human milk. Emerging science shows that breastmilk is not static nutrition — it’s a living, adaptive substance that changes over time, responding to a baby’s age, environment, and even illness. Dr. Azad explains how breastmilk can adjust its composition to meet a baby’s evolving needs, delivering tailored immune protection, supporting microbiome development, and helping shape lifelong health. It’s a reminder that breastfeeding is not just feeding — it’s a complex biological conversation between mother and child. The discussion also highlighted why supporting mothers who choose to breastfeed is critical. From workplace policies to community and healthcare support, ensuring families have the resources they need benefits not only babies, but society as a whole. View the full interview here.
