The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Nurses' Alumni Association, will offer a monthly Virtual Nursing Grand Rounds Continuing Nursing Education Series, providing an educational program led by top researchers from around the world.

In this month’s grand rounds, Dr. Cecilia Tomori will discuss the health impacts of breastfeeding across the life course and the key determinants of breastfeeding success, how typical human infant behavior is reframed by commercial milk formula marketing to increase profits, the elements of the commercial milk formula marketing playbook that undermine breastfeeding, and how to implement enabling and equitable systems to support breastfeeding.
