Sign a Petition and Support Breastfeeding
INFACT Canada and INFACT Quebec are
asking for your help. They are urging people to sign the
Canadian Breastfeeding Protection Petition,
which calls for action on improving breastfeeding support for mothers and
babies across the country. They hope to get 100,000 signatures, which will
be delivered directly to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Although early,
exclusive and sustained breastfeeding is recommended for mothers and
children by the World Health Organization and Health Canada, many women terminate
breastfeeding early because of lack of supports. Recently, the World Cancer
Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research have also
added their voices to the need to
strengthen societal supports to enable mothers and children to breastfeed as
recommended. So the country’s breastfeeding activist organizations are
asking that we sign and share the petition.
