The International Workshop on human lactation dedicated
specifically to the topic of Maternal and Environmental Effects on
Lactation repre sents the recent progress of research in human
lactation. Only four years ago it was clear that we do not yet have
sensitive research techniques specifically adapted to the study of
human milk. This need was addressed by an NIH convened workshop in
1982, the concensus being that appropriate methods have to be
developed for the study of the composition of human milk. The
progress in the development of these techniques was the subject of
the second workshop on human lactation, dedicated specifically to
"Milk Components and Methodologies. " The workshop was held in
Colorado in 1984 and resulted in the publication of the first
volume in the series of "Human Lactation. " At the Colorado meeting
it was readily apparent that considerable progress has been made in
the development of sensitive techniques able to quantitate the
bioactive components of human milk (enzymes, growth factors,
immuno-protective agents) as well as the macro, micro and trace
elements. At the Colorado workshop it became clear that these
workshops greatly benefit the research of human lactation by
enhancing communication and collaboration among the investigators
in the field. As a result it was decided to have a future workshop
about a year later on the topic of "Maternal-Environmental Effects
on Human Lacta tion," and I was charged with chairing it."
