title: Brilliant breastfeeding!
abstract: The 9th lactation and breastfeeding symposium was hosted in Madrid, Spain in April 2014. This year the team also shared the information further afield, taking to Twitter to run live chats. This article reports on three discussions of interest to The Practising Midwife readers: what is regarded as 'normal' in terms of breastfeeding; human milk lipids and health outcomes; and considering the research into the lactating mammary gland.
