Breast milk is best for your baby.

Health Canada, the Canadian Paediatric Society and the Dietitians of Canada recommend that you exclusively breastfeed your baby for the first 6 months and that you continue to breastfeed for up to 2 years or longer along with complementary foods.

I'm breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is a perfect way to bond with your baby while giving her the very best nutrition. Let us share some tips with you for getting the most out of this unique experience. A lot of the questions you’re asking yourself will be answered right here.

Breastfeeding is a miraculous way to bond and nourish. But it’s not always intuitive and you may need support. Ask your doctor, nurse, or midwife for help or your local public health department can also help by referring you to lactation consultants or breastfeeding clinics in your area. La Leche League Canada is a great source of information and we encourage you to visit their website for more information (https://www.lllc.ca/).

The benefits of
breastfeeding

When it comes to feeding babies, nature knows what is best. In fact, Health Canada recommends exclusively breastfeeding your little one for his first 6 months of life. It is no surprise that there are plenty of significant advantages to breastfeeding your bundle of joy.

We can begin with the fact that breast milk naturally adapts to match the changing nutritional needs of your baby as he grows, which means that you do not have to worry about it.

How to wean from
breastfeeding

Weaning your baby from breastfeeding is a natural stage in your baby’s development that often comes with mixed emotions. This is completely normal. Throughout the weaning process, remember to stay close to your baby. Comfort and cuddle her like before and you will come out of the process feeling just as close as you ever did.
