There are several Breastfeeding Coalitions in place across the province and like other breastfeeding support groups; we strive to provide the community with a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in a healthy development of baby and mother. We help parents everywhere by providing education, encouragement and mother to mother support.
Together we can continue to contribute to improve the health of Canadians by supporting women everywhere as they respond to the needs of their children.
If you are interested in either becoming a support person, or if you need support in breastfeeding please contact me (diane@ breastfeedwindsor.org -no spaces) and I will do all I can to connect you with someone that will be suited to you and your needs.
Sincerely,
Diane Pepin
