Description/Eligibility/Service Details
| Description | Breastfeeding is a learned skill for mothers and babies. Therefore, it is usual for families to get help early and often. Because most breastfeeding challenges can be solved with our specialized support, we invite you to call for personalized care and advice—whenever and as often as you need it. We are welcoming to all families, regardless of how they feed their babies. We support families to make informed decisions about infant feeding because it promotes a family’s wellbeing, while respecting individual views, choices and values. That is why Peel families experience our services as empowering, supportive, and informative. There is no fee for any services. Website provides information about breastfeeding, bottle feeding, introducing solid foods and much more, as well as helpful video tutorials. |
