Great to hear from UWA Masters student Claire Hazelwood, who is currently in Uganda working on a research project about exclusive breastfeeding.

"I’m now going into week 3 in Uganda, and have had a busy and rewarding start to my fieldwork. I’ve visited my host institution, Makerere University, and met with my research team. We’ve begun data collection at two healthcare centres just outside of Kampala in the Wakiso District.

These photos were taken in and around the maternity ward at one location, where I’ve had the chance to observe the environment and speak with mothers and village health care workers about their experiences with exclusive breastfeeding. It’s been an eye-opening and adventurous journey so far."

Fantastic work Claire! We look forward to hearing about your progress in the coming weeks

New Research Alert! 🧬

A recent study from Dr Lisa Stinson and Prof. Donna Geddes University of Western Australia confirms that the common skin and oral bacteria found in human milk are not just contamination — they are true members of the milk microbiome!

🔬 The study found that bacterial profiles paired in milk samples collected aseptically and non-aseptically were remarkably similar.
🔬 The study also shows that using aseptic collection methods reduces bacterial diversity, ensuring more accurate microbiome analysis.

This work enhances our understanding of the human milk microbiome, paving the way for better infant health research.

Speaker Spotlight: Dr Lisa Stinson

We are excited to welcome Dr Lisa Stinson back to the ABREAST Conference 2025!

Dr Stinson is a microbiologist and Research Fellow at University of Western Australia, working with the Geddes Hartmann Human Lactation Research Group. Lisa's research focuses on the establishment and development of the microbiome in early life and its profound impact on health and disease.

📚 Accomplishments:
- PhD awarded in 2019 and placed on the Dean’s Honourable Mention List (top 5% of PhD theses).
- Leads human milk and infant microbiota research programs while supervising HDR students.
- Recipient of multiple awards and media recognition, including selection for the ABC Top 5 Science Media Residency.

💡 Session Highlight:
Breastfeeding and Skin-to-Skin for a Healthy Microbiome
Dr Stinson will explore how skin-to-skin care (SSC) influences infant health, including its potential role in shaping the microbiome. Lisa's session will review the latest evidence on SSC’s impact, examine biological and behavioural mechanisms, and highlight the role of breastfeeding in these relationships.

Don’t miss this fascinating session that could transform how we support early practices for lifelong infant health.

The human milk microbiome is minimally associated with breastfeeding practices

New research from the groups PhD candidate Ruomei Xu sheds light on the human milk microbiome! A study analysing samples from 56 mothers at 3 months postpartum found that breastfeeding practices—like frequency and duration—have minimal impact on the diversity and composition of bacteria in human milk.

The microbiome is dominated by typical oral and skin bacteria, suggesting a bidirectional exchange between infant mouth and mother's skin. Interestingly, longer breastfeeding was slightly associated with higher levels of Streptococcus salivarius, a beneficial oral bacteria.

These findings highlight the resilience of the human milk microbiome and its important role in infant health.
