LactaMedia – A Clinical Image Collection

2022 04 Projects FLRF

LactaMedia – A Clinical Image Collection on LactaHub, is an emerging, open access collection of educational photos and videos appropriate for training, presenting or consulting breastfeeding mothers.

LactaMedia includes 100-plus photos and 12 videos of lactating women, in some cases with their breastfeeding infants.

Images depict specific topics such as breastfeeding positions and challenges, breast variations, stages of breastmilk or anatomical challenges of mother or baby. Each has been reviewed and approved by an IBCLC.

Access LactaMedia here on LactaHub.


LactaMedia is being compiled with gratitude to lactation consultants, midwives, nurses, doctors, mothers and families. The goal is to curate a robust resource, rich with contributions that reflect communities around the globe.
