As many of you know, I've breastfed my babies (and for a long time, at that). However, I was very lucky to not have any real difficulties when it came to breastfeeding. Unfortunately, many women are misinformed or don't have propper support and give up on breastfeeding very early, if they even decide to try. I think that it is important that women receive proper information, support and care during the early breastfeeding period but unfortunately in many places in Canada these services just aren't available. Please click the above Banner and sign the "Breastfeeding Protection Petition" that will be presented to Mr. Harper in an attempt to get better support for mothers across Canada.
We also have accredited La Leche League Leaders, like me, across Canada who are more than happy to help breastfeeding mothers get the support and information they need :) To find a group or Leader near you, go to www.LLLC.ca
ReplyDeletePeer counselling is something this petition is requesting the government support, which I think is terrific!
Yes, Le Leche League is a wonderful resource (there is also Nourri-Source for my friends in Quebec :) ). Peer support is such a valuable resource.
ReplyDeleteand Ligue La Leche as well for those in Quebec :) http://www.allaitement.ca/main.php
