MILC trainee Dr. Merilee Brockway speaks to Vogue about breastfeeding challenges during the pandemic.

The Pandemic has posed many challenges for mothers who want to breastfeed but need support to do so.  Lactation consultants and mothers are taking to virtual visits, but the lack of physical contact makes it difficult to assess and assist the mother and baby.  Web based forums are still available for support but can't replace the one-on-one interaction. Azad Lab postdoctoral fellow Dr. Merilee Brockway, a trained lactation consultant, spoke to Vogue magazine about these issues. ​​
