Northwest Mothers Milk Bank and Providence Health & Services invite you to join us for Session One of the 2021 Donor Human Milk Symposium. 

Leslie Parker, PhD, APRN, NNP-BC, FAAN and Fiona Jardine, PhD will share relevant research and their expert opinion on milk expression following birth and supporting parents who may choose to exclusively pump their milk. Hosted by Jennifer Lincoln, MD, IBCLC. 

Leslie Parker has a dual position at the College of Nursing and the College of Medicine at the University of Florida, where she is an associate professor. She has been a neonatal nurse practitioner since 1990 and continues to practice as a NNP in the NICU at UF Health. She was the tract coordinator of the neonatal nurse practitioner program from 1992-2011. She has been involved in human milk research for nearly two decades and focuses on improving milk production in mothers of critically ill and premature infants. She is funded by the National Institutes of Health for her team's work regarding neonatal nutrition including the impact of the intestinal microbiome, the risks and benefits of gastric residual evaluation and optimizing consumption of breast milk for preterm infants.

Fiona Jardine holds a Doctorate of Philosophy from the University of Maryland. Her dissertation Breastfeeding Without Nursing focuses on the experiences of those who exclusively pump, reasons for initiation and cessation, and options around sharing, donating, and receiving milk. She is currently pursuing an MSN at John Hopkins University.

Participants will receive 2.5 CME/CE/L-CERP credits. This virtual session will be recorded and sent to registrants for later viewing.
