Oct 1-7 is National Breastfeeding Week! 2024’s theme is ‘Closing the gap: breastfeeding support for all.’ This week, we will showcase ways to create inclusive environments where every family receives the support they need: https://t.co/wijOwQ84us #NBW2024 #SupportBreastfeeding

Supporting Indigenous families with #breastfeeding also supports cultural revitalization. This aligns with TRC Calls To Action 19 to close gaps in health outcomes and increase availability of maternal infant health services.
