@lethal_heroine 92% of Canadian women start breastfeeding but only 38% are breastfeeding exclusively at 6 months. We need to do more to support all women to meet their ‘goals’! Great to hear the encouraging and normalizing messages for this mama!

#Breastfeeding requires supportive measures at all levels of society. When a community supports breastfeeding it increases the likelihood that families will reach their breastfeeding goals! #SpaceForEveryone #WBW2020 #NationalBreastfeedingWeek2020 #BabyFriendlyNL

Families who do not breastfeed are supported in a #Baby-Friendly hospital and community health services. Visit https://t.co/ptFQLXZC6k
