Maternal-Infant postpartum care needs structured support and a team! My first recommendation to any new parent is to identify and commit your team before the baby is born. This is especially true if you have a chronic health condition, any pregnancy or labour complications or kids close in age/multiples. Learning to care for yourself and care for each baby can be vastly different each time.

The World Health Organization recommends at least 6 contacts for infant feeding help after birth. Did you know in Manitoba you can call your public health office at anytime for more infant feeding and care guidance? Anytime! They will come over or call in the first week after leaving the hospital and they can come again and again if you need them. If the Public Health Nurse or your Midwife are finding your case to be more complex or if your infant feeding concerns are not resolving- the Winnipeg Breastfeeding Physicians can be consulted. We can see you in person or virtually. We are experts in complex dyad postpartum care. We can help you and baby thrive. 💗

Parents need a safe, clean and comfortable space to feed their baby and/or express their milk.

The Faculty of Science is raising funds for a private, soundproof lactation pod to support parents on the Fort Garry campus.

Let’s help create a campus where families are supported.

A fun night of CME thanks to .ca! The amazing Dr. Vanessa Poliquin spoke on HIV and infant feeding decisions, and I spoke about Antenatal Milk Expression’s role in breastfeeding /lactation access and equity.
Then we made Colostrum Collection Kits!! 💗 The Winnipeg Breastfeeding Centre team loved meeting the Women’s Hospital HSC team and can’t wait for more opportunities for collaboration. Hospital and Community working together! 👏👏👏

If you are a health team anywhere in Manitoba who wants to learn more about these topics, please send us a DM.

We care about primary care! Click the first link in bio to share your experiences with primary care. That is the healthcare you get at your medical home- the place you bring your family and yourself whenever you have health questions or concerns. It can be from your Family MD, Nurse Practitioner or a member of their team. We are not involved with the research, only sharing because we love primary care and we understand how essential it is for a healthy healthcare system! As a lactation clinic, we support primary care MDs, NPs and Midwives so they can care for you better! We are also Family Physicians at our core. 💗

What size fl**ge are you? Check out this podcast from the Journal of Human Lactation to learn about what a recently published study observed in their participants! We meet so many mothers who are using a pump that is ineffective, largely due to uncomfortable and ill fitted fl**ges (often too big!)

This is spot on! Feed your baby anytime they are awake. Dr. Cindy Landy practices Breastfeeding Medicine on Vancouver Island, we hung out in Portland for IABLE’s Breastfeeding Medicine Conference last year. Canada has many Breastfeeding and Lactation Physicians from Coast to Coast.

We're excited to announce an incredible opportunity for you to shape the future of infant feeding support in Manitoba! Your input is very much appreciated as we work together with researchers and team members at Shared Health and WRHA to develop a specialized breastfeeding/infant feeding app tailored to our unique community needs.

We invite you to share your thoughts and ideas through our quick and easy SurveyMonkey questionnaire. Your insights will directly influence the features and content of this upcoming app, ensuring it truly serves Manitoba families.

Please help us spread the word! We'd appreciate you sharing the survey link with your clients, colleagues, and staff. Together, we can create an app that makes a real difference in supporting new parents across Manitoba.

We want to thank you in advance for your participation and support. Your voice matters, and together, we'll build something amazing!

Post your answer in comments!

When I meet people outside of work, and they ask what I do- it often leads to sharing a birth and postpartum story that was stressful, even traumatic. Many parents are surprised at how “hard” breastfeeding/ lactation is to establish, others are challenged to the point of early unwanted weaning.

Why is this happening?

✔️ Lactation is always a choice a parent makes about their body and their baby.

✔️Lactation is a learned skill/behaviour. Nobody knows how to breastfeed/chestfeed/lactate when they give birth for the first time.

But it’s not supposed to be hard or stressful. Nobody should be doing something that is so stressful it is harming them. This is not ok.

The reason it can be hard is that even though parents learn about how important human milk/ Lactation is for their health and their baby’s health- and the majority are choosing to start -

There are few who are being taught, led, supported or cared for to facilitate learning.

You are not supposed to figure it out alone. Through history there has been skilled midwives, mothers, sisters, friends and mentors. Knowledge handed down from generations before us. But due to historical factors beyond any of our control- we now exist in a world where

- birth and postpartum occurs largely with providers without bf knowledge or skills

- Our mothers and sisters and friends may live far away, be at work, or inexperienced in infant feeding.

Lactation is not supposed to be hard.

What can you do?
- find a Family Doc/OB/Midwife who supports lactation

- book with an IBCLC early. If you have a complex pregnancy or postpartum consider a Breastfeeding and Lactation MD.

There is zero reason you need to be stressed to feed your baby.

We believe all families regardless of ethnicity, education, income should be able to feed their baby they way they choose, free from financial hardship, and free from physical and emotional stress.
