The Science of Human Milk session will be moderated by the NEC Society's key opinion leader, Mark Underwood, MD.

Mother's own milk offers the most protection against necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). When mother’s milk is not available, pasteurized donor human milk is the next best option.

Wednesday’s session on the science of human milk will feature key leaders in the field:

✔️ Lars Bode, PhD – Human Milk Institute, University of California, San Diego
✔️ Donna Geddes, PhD – University of Western Australia, Perth
✔️ Aloka Patel, MD – Rush University Children's Hospital

#NECchicago will dive into the urgent need for equitable access to human #donormilk and the protective powers of mother's own milk during our Science of Human Milk session. Nicola Juri will open the session by sharing the story of her son, Ronan, who tragically passed away from NEC.
