Concerning all families - especially those impacted by the forest fires in Churchill Falls, Labrador
If you are on alert to evacuate your home during any emergency please consider your child’s feeding needs - whether they are breastfeeding or using infant formula.

A research team led by Dr. L. Cahill at MUN is seeking pregnant individuals under 28 weeks gestation to provide a blood sample, complete questionnaires, and allow placenta sampling after delivery.

Very excited to have this out in the world! 🤓
Fantastic collaboration with computational biologist @LiatShenhav and the @CHILDSTUDY.

"Research shows that having a supportive partner is a significant boost in making breastfeeding successful"
Happy Father's Day to all the supportive Dads out there.

It’s a common misconception that the BFI only benefits families that have chosen to breastfeed. That is simply not true - every family will benefit when BFI is implemented
The Baby-Friendly Initiative supports the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding, but also supports informed decision-making around the use of infant formula, and evidence based information about the safe preparation, use and storage of infant formula when it is needed.
