Nekisha Killings, MPH, IBCLC Presentation: What the Milkline Remembers: Clinical Care for Complex Lactation Rooted in Body, History, and Healing

Abstract: This session expands the concept of clinical management by integrating both evidence-based protocols and embodied awareness of how trauma and history impact lactation outcomes. Using powerful case studies, we will explore complex presentations in lactation that aren't just about milk transfer—they're about what the body remembers. Participants will examine real-world scenarios involving trauma, medical mistrust, intergenerational lactation loss, and psychosomatic responses that complicate care. Alongside protocols, we'll highlight how culturally humble, memory-aware care can transform the lactation experience—for both patient and provider. This is not a departure from clinical care. It is its deepening.
