You make a birth plan so why not make a feeding plan as well?

When birthing in a hospital you will see many nurses all of whom have different lactation training and experiences. You'll hear 100 different opinions and all will tell you to do something differently.

Take a prenatal breastfeeding class privately before baby arrives and make a plan in case things dont go as expected, or even if they do.

This way everyone knows your choices.

What do you think?

Breastfeeding support has never been about making anyone feel guilty.

It's about recognizing that breastfeeding has important health benefits for both mothers and babies, and that every family deserves the opportunity to reach their own breastfeeding goals with compassionate, evidence-based support.

Too often, conversations about breastfeeding become framed as one choice versus another's. That's never been what we stand for.

What we stand for is making sure no family misses out on breastfeeding simply because they didn't have the information, encouragement, or support they needed.

We know that peer support works. Decades of research have shown that when parents have access to trained peer supporters, they're more likely to meet their breastfeeding goals, breastfeed for longer if they choose to, and feel more confident along the way.

For 65 years, that's what La Leche League Canada has been doing. One conversation, one meeting, one late-night message, one family at a time.

If someone made a difference in your breastfeeding journey, we'd love to hear about them. Your story might be the encouragement another parent needs today.
