We have been following the progression of the COVID-19 virus and have been discussing how to address its impact on our community. In an abundance of caution, and with the recommendations of both the Governor and the CDC in mind, we have decided to move all of our BreastfeedLA courses, continuing education classes, seminars, RBC meetings, community meetings, and other gatherings online until further notice. We will continue to update you with scheduling changes throughout the coming weeks.

While evidence regarding racialized disparities among critically ill infants born before 37 weeks gestation is well documented, the ways in which systemic racism impacts lactation among neonates with congenital heart defects (CHD) is limited. This presentation will serve to introduce existing data regarding racial disparities among a cohort of infants with CHD, expand knowledge regarding the unique postpartum experience of mothers who give birth to infants with CHD, and discuss how racism and cardiac care practices interrupt breastfeeding.
