Breastfeeding |
We acknowledge that individuals of all sex and gender identities/expressions may be in a feeding relationship with their baby. The term “breastfeeding” refers to feeding directly from the breast. Some individuals may use the term “chestfeeding” rather than “breastfeeding”, or use “chest milk” rather than “breastmilk. We recognize language is constantly evolving, and we strive to use gender-affirming language when talking about infant feeding and parenting.

Infant Feeding Survey |
Do you have a baby under the age of six months? The Health Unit wants to hear from you! We are doing a study to learn about how people feed their babies in the first six months. This will help us improve services for new parents and babies in our community. Learn more on our Infant Feeding Survey webpage. |
