SafelyFed Canada has two current calls to action to support families with infants and young children in Canada.

We're looking for people to join our review team for the WBTi Indicator 9 (Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies.)

And, we sent two letters in February to the federal government. We've asked for more information about oversight after two infant formula recalls due to botulism and cereulide. We're asking you to reach out as well out to the government as well.

❄️ Babies lose heat faster than adults — especially during power outages and extreme cold.

🤱 Breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact help regulate body temperature, heart rate, and stress.

In winter emergencies, feeding is more than nutrition. Warmth is part of care.
