Each year in Canada, World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated from October 1st - 7th. The week provides an opportunity to highlight the importance of breastfeeding to the health of children, women, families and communities. Breastfeeding women need OUR help to protect, promote and support breastfeeding in order for them to meet their feeding goals.

Join our community in celebrating the importance of breastfeeding. The goal of the challenge is to have as many breastfed children as possible latched-on or skin-to-skin at the same time. Siblings, partners, and anyone feeding human milk (at breast or by bottle) are welcome!
