The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM) is a worldwide organization of physicians dedicated to educating and empowering health professionals to support and manage breastfeeding, lactation, and human milk feeding. It brings together a global community committed to improving care for breastfeeding parents, infants, and families through education, clinical resources, professional development, and collaboration.

ABM offers evidence-based protocols, position statements, core competencies, and educational materials for clinicians and families. Its learning programs include webinars, grand rounds, an education center, a journal, videos, podcasts, and opportunities to earn continuing education credits. The organization also supports professional growth through its Leadership Academy, fellowship, special interest groups, regional conferences, awards, and volunteer opportunities. Patients can use ABM’s public physician directory to find listed physician members specializing in breastfeeding medicine.

ABM hosts an annual international meeting with in-person and on-demand participation, as well as events such as the Lactational Mastitis Research Summit. It welcomes physician and affiliate members and works with partner organizations and mission-aligned sponsors to advance its work and expand access to free, evidence-based resources worldwide.
