You can make a difference for families across Canada by urging your local Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) or Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) to support the Baby-Friendly Initiative (BFI). The BFI is a proven, evidence-based program that improves breastfeeding rates, strengthens infant and parent health, and reduces healthcare costs.
We’ve prepared a ready-to-send letter that you can download, personalize, and send to your MLA/MPP to call for federal, provincial, and territorial action to:
- Mandate and fund BFI implementation in Canadian healthcare facilities.
- Uphold the WHO International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes.
- Invest in public education and community infant feeding support programs.
- Reduce health inequities in breastfeeding and infant feeding outcomes.
Your voice matters. Take action today to help create healthier futures for Canadian families.
