LORI FELDMAN-WINTER, MD, MPH

The CHAMPS National Virtual Breastfeeding Conference is coming up on September 17! Over the next few weeks, we’re celebrating the knowledgeable and passionate speakers as our CHAMPions of the Week.

Today’s CHAMPion Speaker is Lori Feldman-Winter, MD, MPH, a breastfeeding medicine expert recognized nationally and internationally for her expertise in physician education, policy, and public health interventions. Dr. Feldman-Winter is a professor of pediatrics at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University and a CHAMPS National consultant. She currently represents the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine as the member representative to the United States Breastfeeding Committee, and previously served as the Chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Section on Breastfeeding.

Dr. Feldman-Winter entered the field of pediatrics more than 35 years ago after completing a residency at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Since then, she has worked on many projects to drive knowledge and support for breastfeeding and to reduce the disparities and barriers that contribute to the culture of formula feeding in vulnerable communities. She has developed multiple resources, curricula, and webinars, contributed to over 100 publications, and mentored numerous people in the breastfeeding field.

We are inspired by Dr. Feldman-Winter’s dedication to advancing breastfeeding education and equity. We look forward to her session on newborn jaundice and implications for breastfeeding at the CHAMPS National conference in September!
